SUMMARY:Life is like an RPG: Incorporating Video Games and Fun into Academia
DESCRIPTION:This event is being offered via Zoom (details provided upon registration) or you can attend an on-campus viewing and Q&A in Plymouth State University’s Memorial Hall 103. \nThis event is co-sponsored by the CoLab and Intersectionality Talks. \nAbstract\nIn my academic professional life\, I’m a historian\, digital public humanities practitioner\, and technology specialist. Additionally\, video games have been a part of my life and identity for as long as I remember. It has become an important part of the professional aspect of my life to incorporate video games or thinking about things in the perspective of gaming because I think it adds not only fun but also encourages experimentation and creativity. In this talk\, I’ll discuss some of my research\, teaching\, and content creation\, as well as talking about incorporating your passions and interests into your professional careers where you can. \nBiography\nDr. Anne Ladyem McDivitt is the Academic Technology Specialist for the Department of History at Stanford University\, as well as a member of the Center for Interdisciplinary Digital Research. She has a background in digital public history and specializes in digital storytelling. She published her monograph Hot Tubs and Pac-Man: Gender and the Early Video Game Industry in the United States in 2020\, as well as articles on video game studies\, podcasting in education\, and a forthcoming article on gendered advertising in the 1970s and 1980s.\n\nOutside of academia\, she co-hosts two weekly podcasts—one on video games\, anime\, and manga and another focusing episode-by-episode on multiple anime series. She also streams weekly on Twitch\, where she exclusively plays unrealistic fishing games and fishing mini-games in video games while wearing goofy fishing themed shirts.\nOops!
