My name is Cormac Lawler, from Ireland, and I've been studying how the Wikipedia project is constructing a learning community as much as it is creating an encyclopedia, which was the basis for my MEd dissertation in Communication, Education and Technology (at the University of Manchester). I'm very interested in online collaboration and community building and I am particularly studying interpersonal dynamics, conflict resolution and identity within collaborative projects. I was planning to use my upcoming PhD as an opportunity to explore the UK Wikimedia chapter as a site of informal learning and community development - though I am now going to focus on Wikiversity as a learning environment (where I'll need to develop on my once-upon-a-time course on media literacy), and of course improve education-related articles in Wikipedia through the Education WikiProject along the way. I can be contacted at cormaggio (at) yahoo.co.uk or cormaggio (at) gmail.com. I've also started blogging about Wikimedia UK - though this is now out of date - need to start afresh..
