[ecrea] CFA: ECREA 2016 Pre-Conference - Digital Games Doctoral Colloquium

Tue Feb 02 22:01:54 GMT 2016




**

*Digital Games Doctoral Colloquium*

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

Submission deadline for abstracts: *May 2, 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.

All submissions must be sent via e-mail to (ecreagamesprecon /at/ gmail.com)
<mailto:(ecreagamesprecon /at/ gmail.com)>.

The deadline for submissions is May 2, 2016. The actual colloquium will
take place on November 8, 2016, in Prague. Venue TBA.
