[Commlist] Utrecht Summer School Game Research 2021

*** Summer School: Multidisciplinary Game Research – Between Theory and 
Practice (16-20 August 2021) ***

** Utrecht University [online-only] **

This summer course provides an overview of contemporary research 
perspectives on games and play, bringing together perspectives from the 
humanities, educational sciences and social sciences. It provides 
participants with a holistic perspective, including aspects of analysis, 
critical design and validation, which is necessary to employ games and 
play meaningfully and productively within contemporary academia as well 
as society at large.

The program comprises workshops by senior researchers from the Center 
for Game Research (Utrecht University/UU), the Departments for “Media 
and Culture Studies” and “Information and Computing Sciences” (UU), the 
Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development (UU), Palacký University 
Olomouc and Ruhr-Universität Bochum. Each day is dedicated to a 
different angle, starting with game analysis, moving on to games for 
sustainability and environmental  communication, games for learning, 
scenario-planning games and finally interactive narrative design.

The course is aimed at students (from ambitious BA and MA/MSc students 
to PhD candidates) as well as members of private and public sector 
institutions (companies, NGOs etc.) that may already utilize games or 
gamified systems, or aim to better understand how and when to use them.

IMPORTANT: Due to the ongoing Covid-related restrictions, the course is 
conducted entirely online via Microsoft Teams.

Applications will be considered on a rolling basis until August 6th, 2021.
