Associate professor (tenured)
Game studies, design, creativity, pragmatist philosophy and feminism
Research
My research explores how game design can foster creativity, cultural citizenship, and social engagement. Drawing on a transdisciplinary approach, I combine design practice, research-creation, and pragmatist inquiry to better understand creative processes and support innovation in the creative economy. I focus on games that address social issues, represent diverse identities, and encourage inclusive participation—often through collaborations with students, communities, and industry partners. From feminist game design to artgames and serious games, my work aims to expand the cultural role of games and their capacity to inspire meaningful change.
