I've had the privilege of teaching at the American University Game Center as adjunct faculty since Fall 2019. Below is a list of the courses I've taught and the course syllabus. 

​

If you'd like to invite me to guest lecture, please drop me a line!

Psychology of Video Games

This course facilitates a thorough understanding of research techniques, best practices, and evaluation for purpose-driven game design. Through critical reading of late-breaking research, discussion, and analysis, students learn to accurately assess the efficacy of a game design, construct design play studies, and assess the value of specific research claims. Students also design their own study to be evaluated by their peers.

Games, History, & Society

This course provides a comprehensive survey of the intersection of play, games, and society and lays a foundation for designing, developing, and evaluating games used for social impact, education, or other purpose-driven goals. The course combines academic readings from a variety of disciplines and encourages students to embrace an interdisciplinary view of the topic.
