Kimberlee Swisher is Clinical Associate Professor of Media Computing, Associate Director for Undergraduate Curriculum at The GAME School. She holds a master's of music in interdisciplinary digital media, and is broadly interested in the careful crafting of technology and how it influences on culture and youth, especially at the intersection of play, music, and embodied experiences; for example, modifying off-the-shelf motion capture gaming devices into unique gestural instruments. Her research and artistic interests are centered around pedagogy and working with kids and learners of all ages in STEAM, media arts, and technology. She is currently co-director of the Digital Culture Summer Institute, a 3-week summer program for kids 12 to 18 hosted at ASU.
In addition to teaching at the university level, she has taught K-12 music and technology and developed curriculum for several schools and after-school programs in California and Arizona.
