Games growing up (again)? Intersections of Ethics, Law, and Policy in our public and private spaces
by Florence Chee
Through the last two decades of concerted effort in studying games, the field has gotten more complicated, mature, and developed. However, the continuing instrumentalization of games as they permeate all aspects of daily life and livelihoods serves to highlight the tension between playing for work and pleasure. In this talk, Prof. Florence Chee will provide an overview to essential debates in games/gaming as they intersect with ethics, law, and policy--along with what it means to research games through academia, industry and government in today's global regulatory landscape.
