I am happy to report that i successfully defended my dissertation April 26, 2018! Thanks to the many people who supported me and helped me along the way. It’s been a wonderful, exhausting, yet exhilarating journey. I’d especially like to thank my committee (especially my chair and advisor, Gillian) for giving of their precious time to engage with my work so deeply.
I’m happy to announce my latest article, “Who Has Access? Making Accessible Spaces in Minecraft for Children with Autism,” is now online in Analog Games Studies.
Lovely write up about the DanceCraft study by the Informatics department here at UCI: http://www.informatics.uci.edu/informatics-ph-d-student-introduces-dancecraft-to-oc-autistic-children/
The OC Register covered part of our research on dance for kids with autism yesterday. Check it out!
What the news article doesn’t mention is that along with dance lessons, the participants also get to take home the DanceCraft system so they can keep practicing their dance moves.
I’m happy to announce I have been awarded as a Public Impact Fellow for 2017.
