Welcome!
Rebecca Rouse is a Senior Lecturer in Media Arts, Aesthetics, and Narration in the School of Informatics, in the Media, Technology, and Culture research group at the University of Skövde, Sweden.
Rouse holds a PhD in Digital Media from the Georgia Institute of Technology (Atlanta, GA), an MA in Communication & Culture from the joint program at York University and Ryerson University (Toronto, Canada), and a BA in Theatre Studies and German Studies from Brown University (Providence, RI). Rouse’s research focuses on theoretical, critical, and design production work with storytelling for new technologies. Rouse designs and develops projects across games, digital heritage, interactive installations, movable books, and theatrical performance, all with the thread of investigating and inventing new modes of storytelling. This design work dovetails with Rouse’s research in design methods, media theory, and media archeology. Rouse teaches courses in Games, Augmented and Mixed Reality Design, Media Performance, Playwrighting, and the History of Technology. | ||
