In this episode, I speak to Dr. Kristopher Alexander, professor of video games at the University of Ryerson about his educational experiences and seeing your future self through reflected representation. We discuss finding your Ikigai (your life's purpose) and making your passion become your life's work. We also speak about representation and inclusion in the classroom, borrowing video game mechanics and principles for engaging teaching and learning strategies, the impact of streaming students of colour and students from underserved communities, plus much more.
