My current work looks at the politics and history of Unreal and other game engines and their impact on design, the synthesis of humanistic and computer science education, and histories and epistemologies of design.

My research interests include:

The Unreal Engine and Feminist Technoscience

Social Justice in Computer Science, Design, and the Digital Humanities

Game Studies

Feminist Science Studies and New Materialism

Blending Humanities and STEM
