Chris Proctor is a PhD candidate in Learning Sciences and Technology Design at Stanford's Graduate School of Education. His research is focused on critical computational literacies, a reframing of K-12 computer science which centers the worlds and concerns of marginalized youth. This work brings together perspectives from the fields of learning sciences and literacies. As a former secondary English and computer science teacher, Chris is developing the pedagogical content knowledge needed for interdisciplinary K-12 computer science pedagogy. In his dissertation research, Chris developed a literacy-based approach to teaching computer science using Unfold Studio, a web application for interactive storytelling.
