About
Eric Gordon’s work focuses on location-based media, media and urbanism, and games for civic engagement. He is an associate professor in the department of visual and media arts at Emerson College and he is the director of the Engagement Game Lab http://engagementgamelab.org. His book, The Urban Spectator: American Concept Cities From Kodak to Google (Hanover, NH: Dartmouth, 2010) is about the intersections of media and American urbanism. He is also the co-author of a book about location aware media called Net Locality: Why Location Matters in a Networked World (Blackwell Publishing, 2011). In 2007, he co-founded the Hub2 http://hub2.org project, which explores how virtual environments can engage people in community planning by enabling meaningful and sustainable deliberation. He was awarded a MacArthur Digital Media and Learning Grant to continue with this work. The result is the game Participatory Chinatown http://participatorychinatown.org that launched in May 2010. His latest game project is called Community PlanIt http://communityplanit.org.
