WOMHER's seminar series aims to bring together PhD students, researchers, and others interested in WOMHER's research focus. The lunch seminars are held four times per term, with the hosting rotating between different fields of science to ensure interdisciplinarity. The lunch seminars are conducted via Zoom, and the same Zoom link is used for all seminars. The seminars are held in English only.
Existential Transformative Game Design
Games have the power to move players profoundly and ignite personal transformation and growth. Drawing on both theoretical models as well as practical examples, this talk explores what we know about existential, transformational games, their effects, and their use in a variety of contexts, and also identifies future areas for research, discussion, and contemplation.
