Profile Hi, I'm Jason. I've been contributing here and there to Wikipedia since March 2008. I am the Senior Developer-Scholar at the Roy Rosenzweig Center for History and New Media at George Mason University and hold a Ph.D. in History from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. I specialize in the nineteenth century and twentieth century North American West, agricultural history, political history, and environmental history. As an expert in Digital History, I engage a variety of new digital methodologies and practices in my scholarly pursuits. I maintain that the advent of digital technologies is changing and challenging the ways historians practice their craft, allowing them to present, collect, and store information in new ways that help give fresh insights to historical questions, generate new historical knowledge, and serve as a means to reach wider audiences. I support several Wikimedia Foundation projects and the open knowledge / free culture movement generally. You can drop me a message, visit me online, or explore my current digital scholarship. If you wish to have a conversation, find me on Bluesky.
