Research interests for potential research students
My PhD is focused on examining the intersection between the Gothic and video game studies. I am the co-founder of the academic network MultiPlay, which takes a multidisciplinary approach to video game studies. I have hosted numerous conferences on video games, and I am the editor of an upcoming collection on Gothic Video Games. As such, I am interested in supervising projects relating to:
- Gothic video games
- Bioethics in new media
- Monstrous bodies
- Futurism
- Biological science fiction/biopunk and cyberpunk projects
- Posthumanism and cyborgology
Research
My research interests involve speculations of the body, and depictions of all things monstrous. My PhD thesis is a study of non-normative populations in the video game series Mass Effect.
