Cressey Professor of Communication\\ +University of Washington\\ +Box: 353740\\ +Seattle, WA 98195} + +\opening{Dear Professor Patricia Moy and the Assistant Professor + Search Committee,} + +\baselineskip 13.5pt + +I am writing to apply for a position as Assistant Professor of +Communication at the University of Washington. I have also included +the latest version of my curriculum vitæ. Letters of recommendation +from Professors Eric von Hippel, Yochai Benkler, Tom Malone, and Mitch +Resnick will arrive separately. As per the posted job notice, I have +not included writing samples but will happily provide them upon +request. + +My research and teaching interests are the social impact of +communication and information technologies, collective action, and +``big data'' quantitative research methods. Before graduate school, I +worked as a computer programmer and entrepreneur in volunteer-driven +``peer production'' projects. Some of my efforts -- like the +\emph{Ubuntu GNU/Linux} operating system which I helped found and +which is now used by over twelve million people, and \emph{Wikipedia} +where I contribute actively and serve on its non-profit advisory board +-- have become inspirational examples of the productive power of +online collective action. That said, through a series of less +successful ventures, I also learned that most similar attempts never +get off the ground. I returned to graduate school to learn how to +answer why. + + +I study collective action in online communities and seek to understand +why some attempts at collaborative production -- like Wikipedia and +Linux -- build large volunteer communities while the vast majority +never attract even a second contributor. I am particularly interested +in how the design of communication and information technologies shape +fundamental social outcomes with broad theoretical and practical +implications -- like the decision to join a community or contribute to +a public good. My research is deeply interdisciplinary, consists +primarily of ``big data'' quantitative analyses, and lies at the +intersection of communication, sociology, and human-computer +interaction. + +One major feature of my research is the comparison of failures to +build communities to rare successful attempts. The vast majority of +previous work on collective action -- on and offline -- has selected +on the dependent variable by only studying projects that +successfully mobilize volunteers. In one working paper, I compare +Wikipedia to seven attempts to create online collaborative +encyclopedia projects that were launched previously and propose four +hypotheses to explain why Wikipedia attracted many more +contributors. I have also followed this strategy in a series of +quantitative studies of the Scratch online community: a public website +where millions of users create, share, and collaborate on interactive +media. In one study, co-authored with Andrés Monroy-Hernández and +forthcoming in \emph{American Behavioral Scientist}, I test and find +support for several widely cited theories but also show that factors +associated with more collaboration are also associated with less +original and transformative types of joint-work. In an in-progress +analysis of a new dataset I have created from 80,000 attempts at +wikis, I have tested and found little support for a widely cited +ecological model of collective action from sociology that treats +volunteer labor as a fixed and finite resource. By looking at +failures, these studies provide tests of several of the most +influential theories of the conditions for collective action, suggest +important practical and theoretical limitations to existing models, +and point to previously untheorized mechanisms. + +A second major theme in my research is attention to the role of +reputation and status in the mobilization of volunteers. In a study of +status-based awards in Wikipedia called ``barnstars'' -- a +collaboration with Aaron Shaw and Yochai Benkler -- I provide an +empirical test of an influential status-based theory of collective +action from sociology and find that it is supported only for a +sub-population of contributors who show off their awards. In another +study of Scratch, written with a team at Microsoft Research and +nominated for best paper at the \emph{CHI 2011} conference, I present +both a quantitative analysis of a design change and in-depth +interviews of users to show that credit-giving is ineffective when it +stems from an automated system because systems fail to reinforce +status-ordering with credible human expressions of social deference +and gratitude. These studies, and my other work on status, suggest +important limits to previous theoretical work on status as a motivator +for collective action, and describe a more nuanced theoretical model. + +A third theme in my research is the analysis of design changes as +``natural experiments'' to offer a deeper, and often causal, +understanding from observational data. For example, in a study +evaluating the impact of status-based incentives to collaborate in +Scratch, I treat the creation of a new ``leaderboard'' for +collaboration as a exogenous ``shock.'' Framed in terms of motivation +crowding theory, the study finds that increased status for the +creators of collaborative projects resulted in more collaboration but +also caused a decrease in the amount of total effort exerted by +contributors. In other work with Leah Buechley published at +\emph{Design of Interactive Systems}, I have analyzed sales records of +hobbyist microcontrollers to argue that relatively simple design +changes in the \emph{LilyPad Arduino} -- a electronics toolkit +minimally re-designed for women and girls -- led to large increases in +the proportion of female contributors and drastic shifts in the type +of projects created. In addition to the important theoretical findings +in both studies, this type of work represents an important +methodological advance in that it allows for stronger causal claims +while also closing the gap between theory and design. + +In a new stream of work, I am using my existing datasets to compare +the performance of collaborative production to individually produced +works to understand when successful collection action leads to better +products -- and when it does not. For example, in an analysis using +data from Scratch which is currently under review at \emph{Computer + Supported Cooperative Work} -- done in collaboration with +Monroy-Hernández -- I find important limitations of collaboration +through remixing in regards to project quality, particularly for more +artistic or media-intensive works. These findings call into question +the wide applicability of the basic assumption in peer production that +collaboration leads to high performance and points to important areas +for improvement in the design of online community software. + +As is clear in my vitæ, my work is deeply interdisciplinary. My PhD is +from a self-designed interdepartmental program that brings together +social science faculty at the Sloan School of Management with design +and engineering faculty at the MIT Media Lab. I have collaborated with +co-authors across a range of academic departments. And although the +bulk of my current work is targeted at journals in communication and +sociology, my vitæ lists publications in social science, computer +science, and media studies. It also shows an eclectic and successful +record of fundraising. I have been generously funded by Sloan, the +Media Lab, the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard +University, and the NSF. I have successfully sought additional funding +for research assistants and computational resources with grants from +Amazon, Cisco, and MTV/Viacom. + +I also have experience and a passion for teaching. In addition to +acting as a teaching assistant, mentor, and advisor to undergraduate +and masters students, I am, to my knowledge, the only current PhD +student that is routinely invited to lecture in MIT Sloan's Executive +Education and Visiting MBA programs. Your department's undergraduate +courses on \emph{Computer-Mediated Communication} and +\emph{Organizational Communication} are both good matches for my +expertise as are your graduate courses on \emph{Theories of Technology + and Society}, quantitative research methods, and your course on +\emph{Internet Research}. With my experience with successful startups +and in executive education, I would be also be well positioned to +teach in your \emph{Masters in Communication in Digital Media} +program. + +Although the large majority of my energy is put toward research, +teaching, and service, my vitæ also shows evidence of the value that I +place on my role as a public intellectual. I blog actively for a +regular audience of thousands of readers and give regular talks at +conferences and universities around the world on my research. I am a +board member of the Free Software Foundation, sit on the advisory +board of the Wikimedia Foundation, and have advised One Laptop per +Child and several other organizations. + +I grew up in Seattle and love the city. Many years ago, I was +recruited by John Gastil to study as a doctoral student in your +department. Although I chose a different path, I have maintained and +fostered warm collegial relationships with several members of your +faculty and with others at University of Washington. Based on these +experiences, I believe that my skills would be an excellent match for +this job and for your department. I hope that you will consider giving +me an opportunity to join you. + +Sincerely, + +Benjamin Mako Hill\\ +\emph{MIT Sloan School of Management}\\ +\emph{MIT Program in Media Arts and Sciences (MIT Media Lab)} + +%\closing{Sincerely,} + +\end{letter} + +\end{document}
