About Me

Jeff Ginger is a PhD student in the school of library & information science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He also attended UIUC for both his Bachelor's and Master's degree where he fostered his love for sociology and disdain for math-focused computer science. He comes from a Science and Technology Studies (STS) anti-disciplinary background (the insurgents of sociology?), has gobbled up a rather hefty helping of race/ethnicity studies (supplemented by intergroup dialogue), and is perhaps most famous for his Masters research on Facebook.com. His current studies revolve around social & community informatics, battling the digital divide, digital literacy (and participatory culture) and human-computer interactions (HCI) and his dissertation will likely be some blend of the these.

Jeff also occasionally makes websites, pretends to be an artist, records fun noises, and likes to teach.
