My Latest Animation Program Q&As

As a contributing writer for Animation Career Review, I conduct weekly interviews with animation and game design university programs across the world. In an effort to make up for a few of my recent interviews that I failed to share here, I’m including links below to these spotlight Q&As… happy reading!

I speak with distinguished Ass. Chair of Otis College’s Digital Media Dept Kathleen Milnes about her own background in the entertainment industry, the curriculum & where it’s all heading.

Assist. Prof. Karen Schrier shared her insight about Marist College’s Interactive Media & Game Design program with me recently. A lifelong gamer herself, we discuss the evolution of games from a entertainment-focused area to a broadly-based tool for use in a variety of fields.

Northeastern University’ Dr. Magy Seif El-Nasr leads the cutting edge of interdisciplinary research in game design when she’s not teaching. I ask her about Northeastern’s outreach initiatives including STEM education.

Muncie Indiana is home to a budding animation program that takes a fine arts approach to the craft and lured one-time California-based animator Andy Beane to teach at Ball State University.
