Master of Education

By Kate Hargreaves 

Making the leap from high school to undergraduate studies can be daunting. 

Students may face new responsibilities, expectations and learning experiences, putting familiar study strategies to the test. 

In this unfamiliar context, reflection on the learning process can be a powerful part of building confidence and independence.

Kathleen Rose (MEd ’25) calls herself a long-time gamer, playing early role-playing games (RPGs) like Baldur's Gate since the 1990s. 

As the mother of young children at the time, and as a woman in the male-dominated video gaming space, she began to wonder about what messages these games were sending to players about gender and bodies. 

“As an English teacher, games are a text. They’re a media text like anything else,” she explains.
