My Educational Background. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Church Ministries from a university associated with the Assemblies of God. My degree included courses in Bible, theology, and church administration. I am presently working towards the completion of a Master of Arts in Humanities. My studies focus on the notion of the Western Canon and the works contained therein. Additionally, I have a certificate for teaching English to speakers of other languages.

My Interests in Citizendium. I desire to make serious contributions to a serious academic venture. Citizendium is such. I want to contribute in those areas which I have some knowledge (e.g., education, computing, religion, philosophy, and the humanities), but would like to use Citizendium as a launching pad into more fields.

Revision as of 06:54, 3 April 2008

My name is Christopher Campbell. I am from the United States of America, but currently live in the Republic of Korea. I work as an native-speaking English teacher in a Korean public school. Previously, I worked as a web designer/developer. I have a Bachelor of Science in Church Ministries, and I am currently working on a Master of Arts in Humanities with an emphasis on the Western Canon. Additionally, I have a certificate for teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL).

Citizendium Interests

My interests are varied and diverse, and my desire to contribute to Citizendium will reflect such diversity. I have begun compiling a list of articles which I would like to contribute to or begin.

The History of the Internet. When I finished reading "Where wizards stay up late: The origins of the Internet" by Katie Hafner and Matthew Lyon, I desired to find more information about the pioneers of the Internet. Naturally, the first place I turned was Wikipedia. I was quickly disappointed in the lack of information. This has motived me to become a Wikipedian and start making contributions to the community.

Western Literature. I am a graduate student in the humanities, and my program specifically focuses on the Western Canon. I have found Wikipedia to be a wonderful starting point for information. I often use it to learn about new authors with whom I have no experience. However, in this process, I became disappointed in the quality of many of the articles. So, I have decided to add my ideas and suggestions to the fray.

Theology. My educational background is in religion with an emphasis on theology and biblical studies. So, naturally, I have a desire to contribute to articles within these fields.

Republic of Korea. As an English teacher living in the Republic of Korea, I have developed a deep interest in the country, language, and culture. Unfortunately, many of the Wikipedia articles I have come across on topics of my interests are poorly developed or non-existent. I hope to make contributions in the following areas.

Major cities

Provinces

Islands

Culture

Education. I am both a teacher and one with a deep interest in learning. Because of this, I am interested in articles related to education and particularly English education.
