Scott DeJong is a PhD candidate in Communication studies at Concordia University studying educational game design, play, and disinformation.  Currently, his FRQSC dissertation is studying how games and play relate to disinformation practices and critical thinking skills. His work connects creative practice with research to improve media literacy approaches, as witnessed in his research boardgame Lizards and Lies. His past work, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada, constructed games on issues of digital literacy and older adult mistreatment. In his free time, Scott co-produces a podcast speaking with scholars and practitioners on the role and design of humour in games. He is an active member of the TAG (technoculture, Arts and Games) Lab, the Applied AI Institute, and the mLab.
