Biography

Dr Matthew Barr is a Senior Lecturer at the University of Glasgow. He is head of the Education and Practice (EAP) section in the School of Computing Science, where he leads the Graduate Apprenticeship in Software Engineering programme and chairs the School's Industry Advisory Board. Matt is also co-director of the University’s Games and Gaming Lab, a Senior Fellow in Recognising Excellence in Teaching (RET), and a member of the University’s Teaching Excellence Network. He previously convened the University’s first game studies course and founded the international student game studies journal, Press Start. He was appointed Director of Education for SICSA (the Scottish Informatics & Computer Science Alliance) in 2021, and is a founding editor of the journal, Open Scholarship of Teaching and Learning.

Matt is the founder of the Ada Scotland Festival, which aims to improve gender balance in Computing Science education across Scotland. He also champions inclusion and diversity through his membership of several Scotland-wide groups, including the Scottish Apprenticeship Advisory Board Equalities Group, and the Scottish Government’s Digital Economy Skills Group and National Digital Ethics Expert Group. He is also involved in related work through Skills Development Scotland, including the Tackling the Technology Gender Gap Together (TTGGT) workstream, the Neurodiversity Steering Group, and the Women into Tech Steering Group. Matt previously served as Vice Chair of British DiGRA (the Digital Games Research Association) and as a Trustee and Director of the Scottish Game Developers Association. Until 2022, Matt was a member of the BAFTA Scotland Committee, where he acted as the Games Jury Chair.

Matt’s games research, which has attracted significant media attention, examines how video games may be used to develop skills and competencies such as critical thinking, adaptability, and communication skills. This work received the Association for Learning Technology’s inaugural Research Project of the Year award in 2018 and forms the basis of his book, Graduate Skills and Game-Based Learning, published with Palgrave in 2019.
