Dr. Kym Stewart‘s early graduate work in the Media Analysis Lab at SFU focused on the study of media in the lives of children. This experience led to a yearlong study of online gaming in South Korea and her MA thesis: Informatization of a Nation: A Case Study of South Korea’s Computer Gaming and PC-Bang Culture. Upon returning to Canada she helped develop media education programming for elementary schools and transitioned into the field of education for her PhD. Kym worked closely with the Imaginative Education Research Group (IERG) at SFU which inspired her foray into Metissage as a praxis to write my PhD thesis: Teaching the Media with Mouse Woman: Adventures in Imaginative Education.
