Rebecca Rouse
Rebecca Rouse is an Assistant Professor in the Department of the Arts at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (Troy, NY). Rouse is a core faculty member in the Games and Simulation Arts and Sciences (GSAS) program, and a member of the Emergent Reality Lab (ERL). In January 2020, Rouse will join the faculty at University of Skövde, Sweden in January 2020 as a Senior Lecturer in Media Arts, Aesthetics, and Narration in the School of Informatics, in the Media, Technology, and Culture research group.
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).
With over a decade of experience working with Augmented Reality (AR) and other interactive media, 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, 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 Reality Design, Mixed Reality Performance Design, Playwrighting, and the History of Technology at World’s Fairs and Expositions.
Current projects include: an essay collection expanding Rouse's Media of Attraction concept and media historical research in connection with design practice for emerging media; a book on the history of and methods for media theater practice; a mixed reality pop-up book companion to the John Cheever short story The Swimmer.
