Well, this page now exists and that is quite exciting. More information soon! @mitpress Haven't been super social-media active lately, so any shares you can spare will really help me out as this gets closer! mitpress.mit.edu/9780262553582/…
Anyone I know going to be at EASST/4S this week?
I have accepted a position Robert Gordon University in Scotland! I will be starting this summer and look forward to new opportunities across the pond.
If you care at all about games and stories, and are 18+. Some mentees of mine are doing a research project on how characters are introduced in games and would love your opinion! Chance of receiving a gift card! Below is more info, and here is a link: forms.gle/bUZ7Ej4kmdNwoQ…
Looking forward to meeting a new cohort of @i3program scholars tomorrow, and hopefully a new team of research mentees to do some cool work with.
Happy #Juneteenth2023 y'all! I'm a Black and Caribbean game developer and writer and I'd love it if you checked out my work ❤️💛💚
I am bummed to not be attending #DiGRA23 #DiGRA2023 in person this year, but I am still presenting some cool work on impressions of representation on game covers tomorrow @ 4:50PM Seville time/7:50 AM PST. Hope you can make it!
I did a bad job of tweeting #chi2023, but I do want to make sure as many people read my nomination for best paper. Eagle et al., you have produced something of beauty: dl.acm.org/doi/abs/10.114…
Sitting in an airport terminal waiting for another connection and catching pieces of conversations that alert me to the increasing density of migratory #chi2023 attendees as we converge
In just under 24 hours come together with us to help shape our safety programming at @sigchi for our second #OpenSession. Tue, February 14 at 1-2 pm UTC sigchi.org/event/open-ses…
If more than half of Twitter has been fired or left, can they all just group up and launch Tvvitter or something already. I feel like it would help a lot of people with platform anxieties rn, and they get a new job doing their old job but maybe for themselves now?
My review of Deathloop:
Looking for a Ph.D. or postdoc position? Come work with world-class games/HCI faculty at UCSC on NSF-funded community games to help build resilience in the face of wildfires. 1/3
