about 

Hi there! I’m Hong-An Wu 吳鴻安, and I go by Ann with she/her pronouns. My interdisciplinary scholarship bridges arts education with critical game studies and feminist science and technology studies to perform a cultural inquiry of emerging media technologies in contemporary media arts education. Specifically, my research redresses the failures of technologies in education and their inequitable consequences by theorizing critical, careful, and playful pedagogies with technologies oriented toward social justice. I received my B.A. in Sociology from National Taiwan University and both my M.A. and Ph.D. in Art Education from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My published works appear in Catalyst, Journal of Cultural Research in Art Education, OneShot: A Journal of Critical Games and Play, among others. Currently, I serve as an assistant professor in the Bass School of Arts, Humanities, and Technology at the University of Texas at Dallas, a co-director of the Studio for Mediating Play, and a co-director of Situated Critical Race and Media.
