Sean Duncan
Biography

Sean C. Duncan is the C. Michael Armstrong Professor in Interactive Media, an Assistant Professor within Miami University’s School of Education, Health and Society as well as Miami’s Armstrong Institute for Interactive Media Studies. He earned his PhD in the University of Wisconsin-Madison’s Department of Curriculum and Instruction, working within the Games+Learning+Society group. In his work, Sean investigates how people talk about, around, and within games. Focusing on uncovering elements of design thinking, collaborative learning, informal scientific reasoning, and new media literacies, he views games as important sites of meaning-making, cultural touchstones that should inform the creation of new spaces for informal learning. With Elisabeth Hayes, he is the co-editor of the forthcoming volume entitled New Literacies in Videogaming Affinity Spaces (to be published by Peter Lang Publishing).
