Christo is a PhD candidate at UC Berkeley's School of Information and a researcher for the Connected Learning Research Network (http://clrn.dmlhub.net/content/christo-sims): an initiative at the Digital Media and Learning Research Hub at the University of California's systemwide Humanities Research Institute (http://uchri.org).

His scholarship studies the intersection of youth cultures, digital media use, and the production of social inequalities. He's currently working on his dissertation, an ethnography centered on the youth and families who attend an innovative New York City public middle school that celebrates digital media production and playing games as a way to "recruit" learning.
