Research/Teaching/Practice Interests:

• Digital literacies in recreational, popular media for youth and adults
• Diverse young adult literature, resources, and services
• Online research methods and ethics
• Social information behavior theory development
• User experience and community engagement in virtual environments
• Game-based learning and game studies
• LIS education and professional development

I am particularly interested in the depictions and uses of digital and critical literacies in recreational, popular media, such as online games, young adult literature, graphic novels, music, and film.  I hope to explore ways to leverage these media to provide more immersive, connected, and engaging resources, services, and digital literacy instruction for digital youth and adults.
