Who am I - professionally
I am a PhD student, researching games at Northeastern university with the wonderful Seth Cooper (Department of Computer Science).
My interests primarily lie in educational games, with a specific focus on games that ask their players to reflect on themselves and the world around them — touching on concepts in critical thinking, social issues, and philosophy.
These interests arose from a course I taught in undergraduate where I used games like The Stanley Parable, The Talos Principle, and The Witness to teach philosophy. Why read about the trolley problem, when you can instead play through it yourself?
I also run the Game Philosophy Network’s unofficial discord for game academics.

Note: If you do want to go deeper into the site, please remember, this website contains all my notes, as is. Some information may be incorrect. Take it as it is, don’t assume that I stand strongly by anything written, and please actually talk to me in person — nuance is hard to portray in a medium like this.
