SM

Kyrie E. H Caldwell, SM, is an assistant researcher with LEAD Projects and Gear Learning. She conducts research and evaluation of digital games in education and culture, drawing on a background in qualitative and humanist methodologies and feminist and social justice lenses.

Caldwell has been active in numerous aspects of national and international research in games-based learning and games studies since 2013. Her interests lie in how digital games and the creative industries around games participate in, reflect, and challenge the complex systems of human learning, interaction, and emotionality, especially around transcending and changing oppressive roles and narratives. Previously, she has assisted with developing tools, curricula, and institutional processes around qualitative research and evaluation methods; she has also assisted in curating artworks on paper.

Caldwell holds an SM from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Comparative Media Studies and a B.A. from the University of Wisconsin–Madison in Art History and Religious Studies.
