Description

This course is designed as an advance study of video games and video game culture in our society. We will seek to explore some of the interrelated concepts, theories, and issues that reflect the impact of gaming today. Further, we will explore the intersection of production and reception. This course also features the use of analytical frameworks, such as textual analysis, gender analysis, and reception analysis to examine video games. We will explore the potential negatives and positives of video games.
