Looking forward to 2025! Since September 2024 I joined the Valencian Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence (VRAIN) at Universitat Polytecnico Valencia in Spain as a Visiting Scholar.

Update December 2024: Working together with colleagues and students at VRAIN, I have been developing a Spanish-language version of my participant-authored role-playing game Mind the Gap.

This game explores gender roles and identities in STEM education and careers, addressing the UN's SDG4 Quality Education and SDG5 Gender Equality. More information is available in my design research portfolio. On November 25 we ran a gameplay workshop, translating the original 21 seed cards that started the game (back in 2017). With this new version of the game, we will be able to continue building the collective narrative with colleagues and students in Spain, in Central- and South America!
