Short Description of your Research or Creative Project (700 characters or less)

This presentation represents the culminating thesis project, titled "Towards a Critical Game Based Pedagogy in Composition" in the Applied English Grad Program. My research outlines the key figures and discourses of game-based learning and gamification. In response, I presents a theoretical framework for its application in a composition course. My argument holds that a game based pedagogy bears potential for introducing critical, social justice literacies alongside composition and writing literacy. Literacy, being at the center of this framework, is supported by what I call "Pillars:" Identity, Social Learning, and Multimodality.
