Research Interests
As both a researcher and an artist, I am interested in how the social and aesthetic work of creative practitioners can lead to transformative learning. I study how practicing artists learn from each other in informal, relational settings, developing a deeper and more complex understanding of how their work relates to the changing demands of the world. In my own artistic practice, I develop critical, material interventions into technologies and cultural practices of image-making, working across textiles, print media, and installation art.

Research Interests
Victoria’s research interests explore systemic issues within computer science education, centering the experiences of Black, Disabled, Indigenous, and Latine/x students. Most recently, their research has focused on teaching and learning accessibility as well as unpacking how ableism is codified in the policies, practices, and pedagogies used in college CS courses.
Research Interests
My research interest lies in the intersection of Learning Sciences and Human-Computer Interaction, with a focus on informal learning, mobile learning, scaling, and emergent social behavior and learning design from massive learning communities.
Research Interests
Identity development in Computer Science. Design of accessible online learning environments.
