Ngambi i bog we wek u bog i ñem woñ

I am a researcher, designer, and critical thinker. My research interests lie at the intersection of learning sciences, educational technology, literacy studies, and the interdisciplinary field of game studies. Within this intersection, my research includes games (digital & analog); learning and literacies; emerging technologies, design of inclusive learning spaces and exhibitions. I am also interested in how culture shapes learning and literacy practices in different environments. I hold a dual-Ph. D in Learning Design and Technology and Comparative international Education from the Pennsylvania State University. I recently worked as a postdoctoral fellow in data curation for African American and African Studies at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture
