If you're a graduate student (a) interested in video games and (b) looking for a PhD program in media studies ... I'd love to talk! My lab (Newhouse Interaction Lab, #nhixlab) has been working w/Atari on a series of playtesting studies. Come work with us? newhouse.syracuse.edu/academics/ma...

I have one more starter pack in me: critical tech-art. Thing is: a lot of women in this space aren’t on Blue Sky and the gender balance here is no good. Really want to change that. Suggestions for critical women artists in tech (with bsky accounts!) please? go.bsky.app/EkpVQwY
