learning and social change

Sociocultural learning theory offers helpful entry points for understandings of movements and collective action.

I explore how movement participants use and create media, form and use relationships, learn to do emotion together, and work toward broader forms of social change.

politics and ethics of design

Design is both a professional practice in the learning sciences and an everyday human activity.

I explore how people engage with questions of social goods and how they are distributed through the activity of design. Design makes possible various ways of being together.
