Bryant Best is an Assistant Professor of Urban Education at Morgan State University (MSU). His research primarily explores how video gaming can serve as a gateway to literacy for students living in urban communities, but he has also conducted research studies on how members of an overpoliced community experienced and engaged in acts of resistance against the school-to-prison pipeline. At MSU, he teaches graduate courses on Social Policy and Afrofuturism and Race and Public Policy in Education. His favorite games include Street Fighter 6, Cyberpunk 2077, and TellTale Game’s The Walking Dead series. Dr. Best lives in Baltimore, MD.
