Faculty in the News: Dr. Mila Zhu’s Ludic Scholarship series debuts at AERA Annual Meeting

August 26, 2025

DENVER, Colo. – Southeastern Oklahoma State University associate professor of curriculum and instruction Dr. Mila Zhu’s new book series Ludic Scholarship debuted at the annual meeting of the American Educational Research Association.

International academic publisher Peter Lang’s booth spotlighted the textbook Freedom to Play: A Ludic Language Pedagogy Primer and drew strong interest from scholars working in gaming, play, and innovative inquiry—many saying they had “finally found a home” for this work.

Dr. Zhu’s authored monograph, StrataPlay Methodology, is now in typesetting and will anchor the series’ methodological foundation. A third textbook is in production, and an edited volume, Parent-Scholars in Practice, currently has an active call for chapters.
