Karim Nader

I am a postdoc at MIT. I received my Ph.D. from the University of Texas at Austin.

I study games and technology. I think about video games and virtual reality, the gamification of technological and social systems, and how we might hack (or "game") those systems. I am interested in what it means to approach the world with a playful attitude.

My work is in aesthetics, social and moral philosophy, and the ethics of technology.
