Betsy DiSalvo

I am an Assistant Professor at Georgia Institute of Technology in the School of Interactive Computing. I lead the Culture and Technology Lab (CAT Lab). I am particularly interested in understanding how cultural values impact motivations for learning and the use of technology. I use many research methods, but all of my projects are initiated through studies with specific audiences around their technology use. I consider these participants as co-designers in the research and in the production of new learning environments and technologies. Areas of Interest: Informal Learning Environments, Gender, Race, Ethnicity and Technology Use, Digital Games, Art Museums, Computer Science Learning
