[ecrea] ICA 2017 Panel on Video Games and Aging

Subject: Call for Submission: ICA 2017 Panel on Video Games and Aging

Dear colleagues,


We are organizing a panel on *Video Games: Meaningful Play for Older 
Adults* for the 67th International Communication Association (ICA) 
Conference held in San Diego, USA, May 25-29, 2017 
(http://www.icahdq.org/conf/2017/2017cfp.pdf).


In keeping with the conference theme of "Interventions: Communication 
Research and Practice," we invite researchers to investigate the 
intersection of video games and older adulthood, examining the broad 
application of gaming as a tool in successful aging, focusing on the 
gaming experience of older game players, intra- and inter-generational 
gaming, the motivations and perceived benefits.
