After taking a year or so off to work on the dissertation, I’m back on the conference circuit to present some ongoing research.
I’ll be presenting on the Accessibility of Retro Video Games at the Pacific Sociological Conference this week (March 21st) and then I’ll be presenting some work on Bootlegging Video Game history at the History of Games Conference in May.
For those interested in getting into sociology more, attending conferences is a great way to learn more about the field, what work is being done, and network with other students and sociologists. Even if you’re not presenting, just attending conferences are usually pretty low-stakes ways of getting involved. Most conferences also need student volunteers, so you can probably attend free of charge if you’re willing to help out.
