Drew Davidson, Ph.D. Acting Director, ETC Entertainment Technology Center
Research Interests I'm a professor, producer and player of interactive media. Primarily, I am interested in stories across texts, comics, games and other media as well as conceptual interactive design, integrated narrative and interwoven media, collaborative design and development, applied media and game logics. My interdisciplinary theoretical interests focus on the performance of narratives between multiple media. I look to illustrate how we interact with our stories. I am intrigued by the way a medium can shape the creation and the reception of meaning and how a range of media can be utilized in order to communicate ideas. I explore how the juxtaposition of various media can be made into an additive methodology that allows for continual (re)presentation and critical analysis. I would like to see more collaborative, dialogic and interactive work between scholars that reflects the interdependence of authors, readers, texts and other media, in establishing value and meaning. It is important to me to discover the possible and myriad applications of interactive media that would compliment and enhance traditional media, in order to develop pedagogies that inspire newly viable learning, teaching and communication. I bring a diverse and deep educational perspective to my professional endeavors. I am continually looking for new opportunities and challenges in helping to design and develop integrated and engaging high tech, rich media experiences for education and entertainment. I believe my experience, expertise and enthusiasm makes me invaluable in doing such work. I focus on how to integrate creative content, applied theory and media technology to create engaging and relevant experiences for people.
