Game Culture Class

Game Culture 36-1100

The increasing popularity of games within today’s culture necessitates analysis of how games are impacted by social and ideological forces and influence them in turn. Questions like “Why do we play?” and “How do we play differently?” are explored, with many others, as students are guided through topics such as role-playing and identity, ethics, group behavior, competition, gender, race, and aesthetics in modern (and historical) games.

Prereqs: 52-1151, Writing & Rhetoric I

Coordinator: Tom Dowd Tdowd@colum.edu
