Research Interests

Broadly speaking, my work focuses on:

  • studying the psychological/social impact of fictional narratives, games, and computer-mediated interactions
  • uncovering and empirically verifying user-specific, design-specific, and situational variables that increase that impact
  • extrapolating techniques and best practices for the creation of stories, games, and new technologies as “interventions” for social change
