Asked to summarize my research projects…<\/p>\n

Curiously, beyond the theses and dissertation, all my work is in the economics of media and narrative. I ask what works and why when offering stories to audiences<\/a>. What connects with an audience and can we model what audiences want from narratives<\/a>? (Yes, you can model data on narratives and what “sells” and what wins awards and what nobody wants.)<\/p>\n

Yet, my graduate degree research projects all relate to design<\/a> of writing spaces, as knowing what works is also key to knowing what could be “sold” to users.<\/p>\n

MA<\/a>: How poor LMS UI\/UX design creates online spaces that hinder the writing process and teacher mentoring of students.<\/p>\n

Also: The cost of LMS design and compliance with legal mandates for usability.<\/p>\n

Ph.D: The experiences of special needs students<\/a> in online settings, from commercial spaces to games to learning spaces and which spaces are best designed.<\/p>\n

Where do people voluntarily embrace media-text creation and what are the traits of those spaces?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Also: Compliance testing costs and why colleges push students with special needs into online courses.<\/p>\n

MFA<\/a>: Typographical choices and audience reactions to those choices in cinema and television.<\/p>\n

Other Research Papers<\/a>: Women and minority inequality within design fields and why diversity has actually gone “backwards” since the 1920s and 30s.<\/p>\n

Now, I need to pitch these two interests, the “economics of design” and the “rhetoric of design-narrative” to potential employers more effectively.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
