My research interests are broad, but most of my work centers around narrative and digital media. I am particularly interested in how meaning, context, and identity work in games and interactive stories. My research is grounded in the humanities methodology of close reading, but I also draw on techniques from the social sciences and from art and design practice to develop and assess novel narrative experiences. I am particularly interested in how interfaces operate as semantically rich sites of emergent meaning (rather than as simply utilitarian mechanisms for accomplishing tasks), and in the ways in which readers and players adopt shifting identities in the pursuit of narrative and gameplay pleasure.
