Alison Bryant (Alison@PlayScienceLab.com) is Founder and President of PlayScience, a research, consulting, and innovation firm on a mission to break down the walls between industry innovators, academics, and consumers. Alison has spent her adult life moving seamlessly between the academic and industry worlds (and usually sitting in both concurrently). She spent several years as Senior Research Director of Digital Research and Brand & Consumer Insights for the Nickelodeon/MTV Networks Kids & Family Group; and was Chief Strategy Officer for Smarty Pants, a research and consulting firm focused on kids and families. She was also an assistant professor of communication at Indiana University. She has published and presented extensively on media, kids and families, including two edited books – The Children's Television Community and Television and the American Family (2nd Ed) – and is associate editor for the Journal of Children & Media. She is currently working on her fourth book, The Generation C Handbook: 101 Challenges for Change, a guide book for how young people can help create change. Nicole Schonemann is Director of Indiana University Bloomington’s Office of Service-Learning. She graduated from Indiana University with a PhD in Education Policy Studies and a Masters in Latin American and Caribbean Studies. She has taught service-learning courses at Indiana University and Albion College, and has been involved in community work through appointments to advisory boards, direct service, and advocacy work. Doug Karpa earned his Ph.D. in evolutionary ecology from Harvard University and worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Indiana University. He left research to focus on promoting better undergraduate teaching as an instructional consultant at Campus Instructional Consulting at Indiana University. As part of that work, he helped spearhead the Course Portfolio Initiative that grew out of a grant from the Pew Charitable Trust. Inspired by the examples of instructors working to promote civic engagement and environmental literacy, Dr. Karpa earned his J.D. from University of California, Berkeley Law School (Boalt Hall) in 2009. He now practices environmental, land use and energy law for public interest organizations and private clients in San Francisco.
