I have recently completed a PhD discussing some aspects of contemporary swing dance culture. As part of this study I have spent some time researching African American vernacular dance and contemporary swing dances, and continue to read, write and publish in this area.

I do most of my wikipedia work on the swing (dance) related pages:

African American dance

Big Apple (dance)

blues dance

Breakaway (dance) Charleston (dance)

Connection (dance)

Frankie Manning

George Snowden

History of lindy hop

Hollywood-Style Lindy Hop

lead and follow (dance)

Lindy Exchange

lindy hop

Savoy-Style Lindy Hop

swing

Swing (dance)

Vernacular dance

Whitey's Lindy Hoppers

Yehoodi

I'm also a keen SF fan and have been (very slowly) working on the pages related to Marion Zimmer Bradley's Darkover books: The Shattered Chain is the only one I've done much work on so far. I'd be happy to work on any SF pages if people want to enlist me. :)

I am only new here on wikipedia, so I make mistakes quite regularly, and am still learning how to do things like start new articles, move articles, etc etc etc. Please assume that any error in my editing is made out of ignorance rather than malice or pride. :)
