Biography
Sasha Barab is a professor in the School for the Future of Innovation in Society and the Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College at Arizona State University. He also co-founded and serves as the executive director of the Center for Games and Impact. Professor Barab is an internationally recognized learning scientist who holds the Pinnacle West Chair of Education, and who has researched, designed, and published extensively on the challenges and opportunities of using games for impact. His research has resulted in numerous grants, dozens of articles, and multiple chapters in edited books, which investigate knowing and learning in its material, social, and cultural context. Leveraging design-based and impact-based research methodologies, his work focuses the design and research of game-infused learning environments to support a more knowledgeable, compassionate, and committed citizenship.
