Hong-An (Ann) Wu 吳鴻安 Bio

HW: Hi! I’m Hong-An Wu 吳鴻安, and I go by Ann with she/her pronouns. I’m an interdisciplinary arts educator, media artist, and researcher that seeks critical, playful, and careful pedagogical approaches with and through technologies, such as video games and Tarot, for social justice. I received my B.A. in Sociology from the National Taiwan University and Ph.D. in Art Education from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My work sits at the intersection of game and play studies, feminist science and technology studies, and media and arts education, and my published works can be found in the 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 School of Arts, Technology, and Emerging Communication 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.
