[ecrea] ECREA Digital Game Studies PhD Colloquium

Digital Games Doctoral Colloquium

Call for submissions, ECREA-ECC conference, Prague, November 8, 2016

Submission deadline for abstracts: May 20, 2016

The Digital Games Research section is happy to announce a PhD Colloquium 
as a pre-conference to the upcoming ECREA European Communication 
Conference in Prague in November 2016. This colloquium brings together 
PhD candidates researching digital games and experienced scholars in the 
field.
The goal is to provide a forum of discussion to young scholars where 
they can present their research projects and receive feedback, comments, 
and suggestions for improvement. The intention is to contribute to their 
research development, as well as to share experiences with other 
candidates and colleagues.
Participating candidates will have the opportunity to present an 
overview of their research project and propose a set of questions to the 
floor. Following the presentation, each participant will receive 
dedicated feedback from an experienced digital games researcher, 
addressing both the project in itself, and specific questions provided 
by the student.

The interdisciplinary nature of games research allows for a rather broad 
range of topics surrounding digital games. From serious games to 
gamified experiences, we are interested in projects that are anchored in 
digital games related to their social, cultural, technical and 
psychological dimensions. We encourage submissions presenting a wide 
array of theoretical and methodological approaches.

Submissions should consist of an abstract of no more than 500 words 
reflecting the theme of the thesis, a brief mention of the theoretical 
framework and methodological choices. Furthermore, they should include a 
note on when the project was started and when it is expected to end, as 
well as, a list of questions or themes of discussion during the feedback 
in the colloquium.

Notifications of acceptance will be sent on May 30, 2016. All accepted 
participants will be expected to submit an extended abstract (1,500 
words) outlining their project before September 30, 2016. Registration 
fee for the colloquium will be approx. 20€.  All submissions must be 
sent via e-mail to (ecreagamesprecon /at/ gmail.com). The deadline for 
submissions is May 20, 2016. The actual colloquium will take place on 
November 8, 2016, in Prague. Venue TBA.
