Dr. Loretta Brady

In this episode of Creative Guts, co-hosts Laura Harper Lake and Joe Acone sit down with Dr. Loretta Brady, professor at Saint Anselm College and founder of the Community Resilience and Social Equity Lab. Loretta’s work sits at the intersection of research, community engagement, and game design, using interactive, research-backed projects to explore how communities respond to challenge and inequity. In our conversation, we dig into how her lab designs games as tools for understanding complex social systems, how students actively participate in that work, and how creativity can open new pathways into conversations around resilience and equity. Learn more about Dr. Brady and the Community Resilience and Social Equity Lab at Saint Anselm College.
