Adam Jerrett
Summary
I am a Senior Lecturer teaching in the Game Design and Games Technology domains, with a focus on games programming, user experience design, and game design principles.
As a researcher, I am particularly interested in Game Design as a process and as a practice. My practice-based research involves creating games, many of which have educational or wellbeing benefits, such as my ARG Nomad and poly-pervasive game What We Take With Us.
I am particularly interested in pervasive, analogue, and other real-world games and continue to explore how they can facilitate personal, transformative player experiences.
