Videogames in Social Science: This course will survey the growing body of social science literature on the study of videogames and emerging interactive media. Videogames are now the single largest sector of the global entertainment industry, and this commercial impact is matched by an equally profound cultural impact. Today videogames shape and participate in our learning, sociality, and work, as much as our play. As a result, videogames and videogame research have pushed scholars to rethink some of the dominant models of these spheres of human activity. In this class students will read from key areas of videogame scholarship and practice critical analysis and discussion of those topics and readings. The course will include weekly readings and response papers and a final research essay. | ||||||||||
