alice robisonAlice J. Robison (Ph.D. in English, University of Wisconsin-Madison, 2006) is an assistant professor of English in the rhetoric and composition studies area of the department. Her research and teaching specialties are technology and social media, especially videogames. Primarily, Alice researches the ways that videogame designers and developers write, think, and talk about the ways their games are made and interpreted. She hopes this work will help inform changes in writing and literacy pedagogies in a variety of learning contexts.

Additionally, Alice has worked since 2005 on several digital learning grants funded by the MacArthur Foundation. These include the Games, Learning and Society project at the University of Wisconsin-Madison; Project New Media Literacies at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology; The Game School project in New York City; and the Our Courts project at Arizona State University. She also serves on several national social media advisory boards in the areas of media and learning.

Alice's work has appeared in Computers and Composition and the Journal of Media Literacy; she is currently at work on a book manuscript that examines videogame design as a writing process.
