Profile
Constance Steinkuehler's research is in cognition, learning and literacy in massively multiplayer online games. Current interests include "pop cosmopolitanism" in online worlds and the intellectual practices that underwrite such a disposition, including informal scientific reasoning, collaborative problem solving, media literacy (as production, not just consumption), computational literacy and the social learning mechanisms that support the development of such expertise (e.g., reciprocal apprenticeship, collective intelligence). She was an associate lecturer in educational psychology and a Spencer Fellow, and writes online for Joystick101.org and Terra Nova. She received three simultaneous bachelor's degrees, in mathematics, English and religious studies, from the University of Missouri and both her master's degree in educational psychology and her Ph.D. in literacy studies in curriculum and instruction from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
