Projects
Depth of Field (Coming Soon)
Depth of Field is a project designed to create and test the limits of secondhand experience - experiences shared through stories. Depth of Field creates lesson plans and experiences centered on narratives like books, documentaries, images, and more to intentionally shift psychological distance and foster deeper meaning-making, identity formation, and place connection. It integrates ideas from phenomenology, narrative transportation theory, construal-level theory, and experiential education models to create activities that support optimal learning, engagement, and development.
Discovery of Place (DOPE)
KC’s research explores how undergraduate students experience place-based learning through a method he has started calling “DOPE” (Discovery of Place). His work combines qualitative methods and creative coding techniques such as mindmapping and collaborative wall-based analysis to surface patterns of reflection, identity, and spatial awareness. Grounded in themes of peace education and student’s voices, KC’s agenda is both exploratory and deeply participatory. He is particularly interested in how museum and memorial visits influence student development and critical sense-making.
