Centering around themes of play, his past projects and scholarship have investigated the ludic as a means of mediating the complex intersections of power, privilege, and representation; the role of play in generative systems; serious play in collaboration; embodied play as a means of recreating personal narrative and memory; the family; ecology and memory.
