About

Hello! I’m Anthony, a Ph.D. Student of Urban Education (Cohort ’20) at The Graduate Center (CUNY) in Manhattan, where I recently completed my M.A. in Digital Humanities. I am an educator, currently teaching at the New York City College of Technology & LaGuardia Community College. I’m also a Community Facilitator for the CUNY Academic Commons, which is an open educational resource that supports all City University of New York campuses. My research interests include ed-tech, data/surveillance, digital mapping, intersectionality, and game studies. My goal is to conduct research within the spheres of digital pedagogy and educational technology to study how we can use digital tools to increase equity within educational settings.
