It’s here! The beautiful (and hefty) @routledgebooks Handbook of Esports has arrived following a lot of work from our editorial team @DrSethJenny @NicoBesombes @TGJBrock & @t0bs3n, chapter authors & reviewers. The result is a comprehensive resource covering esports’ many facets.

New pub alert! Check out our work on how collegiate esports program participants view and understand fans. Full summary from Brandon below ⬇️

Would also like to acknowledge @Harris216 and @DanielFranks199, my co-researchers on this topic.

Glad to chat with @NPR @npratc about the issues at stake in the current @sagaftra video game performers’ strike. https://t.co/c9zk4sNmjV #VideoGameStrike

🚨 We’re hiring an assistant professor of media arts and studies! 🚨 Not on the search committee but happy to answer questions about Lexington and @UKJAMschool. https://t.co/DU5mJVJ8cU

Bonus bonus tweet- Andy doesn't have an account here, but the other authors- @MaxwellFoxman @Harris216 @JaredcHansen @ondercanli and @WaseqRahman - do! Every lab publication is a team effort, and this one is no different. Grateful to work with such excellent colleagues.

Bonus tweet- see more about the EGR Lab and what we're up to at https://t.co/SkJa0h4GkL (Forgive the issues we're having with our security certificate, we're working on it.)

We find that *recognizing* a barrier exists doesn't necessarily translate to meaningful solutions for building inclusive esports programs. We suggest some possible avenues for programs to reach diverse participants. Out now at New Media & Society! Message if you need a copy! 3/3

Analyzing in-depth interviews with collegiate esports players/workers, it assesses if/how people recognize potential barriers to esports participation (e.g., race, class, gender, etc.) It finds stark differences in how different barriers are recognized and addressed... 2/3

Another exciting pub day! Led by Andy Wilson, "In/Visible Hurdles" ( https://t.co/JFUIbWzDBN) is the newest EGR Lab article. 1/3

And it’s here!!!! 💙💙💙

It’s pub day! Thrilled to be part of the 50 Years of D&D collection (@mitpress) edited by @premeetsidhu @marcusdcarter & @JoseZagal. Thanks to coauthor @EmilySaidel for diving into player handbooks with me to assess ‘race’/race (species/ethnicity) in D&D.

Thanks to @noahjspringer and the awesome folks at @mitpress the new book dropped today. And it's open access day one. Check it out or pick up a copy at your local bookstore:
