About Chinese DiGRA

Chinese DiGRA (中华电子游戏研究协会​ /​ 中華數位遊戲研究協會)is a regional chapter 
of DiGRA (Digital Games Research Association) focusing on game research 
relevant to Chinese speaking countries and the surrounding regions. 
Chinese DiGRA aims to enhance the quality, quantity, and international 
profile of games research in the Chinese-speaking context, by developing 
a network of game scholars and researchers working in the 
Chinese-speaking world and/or on aspects of Chinese games and gaming 
cultures, forging links between academic and professional researchers on 
games, supporting teaching and PhD development in the region, and 
disseminating and promoting Chinese game scholarship around the world. 
Chinese DiGRA is run by a board comprised of top academics in the fields 
of Chinese games research from Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, and 
Taiwan. You can find more information on Chinese DiGRA, including papers
