About

I’ve been at UVic since 2011. I teach courses in media studies, American fiction, and critical theory. I also direct the Praxis Studio for Comparative Media Studies (formerly the Maker Lab). I’m interested in what media do across forms of fiction: from comics, novels, and radio drama to games, bots, and prototypes.
