Any WE academics within shouting distance of Washington, D.C.?

[Steve Foerster]

Dear All,

This is marginally off topic, but I can't think of a better place to ask
this, so I'll risk incurring collective wrath.

I am considering switching doctoral programs, in part so that I can have
a topic that's more related to my interests in OERs, educational
technology, distance learning, and the developing world. I've been
speaking with the Dean of Informatics at a university in South Africa
who is willing to let me enroll as an external student, but he's said if
I do that he'd like me to have someone on my committee who is physically
local to me.

These days I live primarily in Northern Virginia, right next to
Washington, D.C. So, I'm curious whether anyone is or knows a doctorate
holder who (1) has a research interest in OERs, educational technology,
distance learning, and/or the developing world; (2) is somewhere
reasonably close to Washington, D.C.; and (3) would potentially be
willing to serve on my doctoral committee even though the only
remuneration would probably be my undying goodwill. If you're reading
this and are such a person, or know one, I'd greatly appreciate speaking
with you!

Thanks much,

-=Steve=-
