I am an assistant professor in the School of Education and Social Policy at Northwestern University. I received my PhD in 2010 from the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, where I was a fellow in the Institute for Educational Science’s Program for Interdisciplinary Educational Research and a Siebel Scholar.

My research focuses on technology for the new civics – producing scientifically supported educational technology to create informed and engaged citizens who can solve the serious policy problems facing our society such as poverty, global warming and militarism. Training such citizens requires us to understand how competent citizens analyze policy, communicate issues, and organize to make change. It also requires us to design more effective educational technology that can teach the knowledge, skills and dispositions citizens need.
