My extended abstract entitled “Platforms at the Peripheries” that I submitted to the Digital Games Research Association’s (DiGRA) 2020 conference is now available via their proceedings.
I wrote this around a year ago when the world looked pretty different, but it still encompasses a lot of what I’m exploring in my research. I’m excited to share more about the project as it progresses,.
The Sociology of Videogames 
Hello, my name is jacob Rogers and I am a current junior at colorado college I struggled to find a major but somehow I found my way to the sociology department and have not left. I am considering writing my thesis on video games as it is a large part of my life and has helped me understand myself and others further. I was ecstatic to find your blog with such recent updates as it showed me there is sociological work to be done involving video games, I would love to hear more about your work and the research being done within the discipline around video games.
Thank you,
jacob
