I'm a university student majoring in political science. One of my hobbies and favorite pastimes is video games; as it stands, most of my edits on Citizendium will deal with games. Games are completely non-essential, but somebody has to work on the articles, right? :)
I graduated from university in 2009 with a BA in [[political science]]. My fields of interest include [[international relations]], [[economics]], [[education]], public health, and public policy—in particular research on vulnerable populations in both the United States and developing nations.

If the preceding sentences are any indication, I have a strong preference for the [[serial comma]], which tends to remove (rather than introduce) ambiguity.


I'm highly interested in promoting Citizendium's goal: to create a kinder, gentler (and better written) Wikipedia.
