Game Studies and Cultural Analysis
How do games work? How do you make them? And how do games make us and our societies and cultures? The minor Game Studies and Cultural Analysis will provide you with both the perspective and practice to give your own answers to these questions.
During this Minor you will gain a wide range of critical, interdisciplinary and analytical skills to grapple with these complex, interactive media. At the end of this Minor, you will have a theoretical and methodological toolset that can also be used to understand media and digital culture more broadly.
You will learn to communicate that knowledge clearly in both traditional and new forms of academic output, including essays, game reviews, podcasting and, of course, your self-made games. Next to giving you space to develop independently; this Minor also teaches you how to be an active and effective member of a project team.
