VISION
STATEMENT
We spend most of our lives outside of the traditional classroom and our time in the formal classroom is rarely (if at all) allocated to real world issues such as racism, climate change, and mass incarceration. So, when do we teach about critical social issues? What pedagogical approaches and learning environments are most effective for promoting pro-social attitudes and behaviors? What attitudes are necessary to foster a more sustainable and inclusive future? My research and evaluations often consider these broad questions and are driven from my passion to engage lifelong learners in education about critical social issues.

ANDREA KUNZE, Ph.D.
I am an Assistant Professor of Psychology & an assessment specialist with particular interest in how multimedia and hypermedia can help motivate pro-social attitudes and behavior change, such as antiracism and environmental sustainability. My research is often framed in a social justice and interdisciplinary psychology lens (e.g., education, cognitive, and social) using a combination of qualitative and quantitative research and evaluation approaches. I'm particularly interested in evaluating and designing informal learning & digital environments and activities, such as games, that can promote sustained engagement with emotionally evocative topics.
