You are invited to a one-day catered symposium of critical game studies research, hosted by the Digital Media Research Centre’s Game Studies Research Group. This is an opportunity to learn about the wide range of research undertaken around videogames as a cultural form and entertainment industry. The symposium will include presenters from QUT, Griffith University, and University of the Sunshine Coast, as well as a keynote by Dr. Jasper van Vught from Utrecht University. We especially welcome attendees from outside game studies.
