The Manchester Game Centre promotes game studies across a number of disciplines at local, national, and international levels. We deliver knowledge via our public-facing events, workshops, and teaching at our home at Manchester Metropolitan University.
The MGC was established in 2016 as a cross-university research network, drawing its membership from the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, Health and Education, and Science and Engineering at Manchester Met. It is co-led by Professor Paul Wake (English), Dr Chloé Germaine (English) and Dr Jennifer Cromwell (History), supported by a wider leadership group including Dr Benjamin Bowman (Sociology), Dr Tom Brock (Sociology), Dr John Henry (Maths and Computing), Dr Frazer Heritage (Linguistics), Dr David Jackson (School of Digital Arts), Wahida Khandker (Philosophy), John Lean (Education), and Jack Warren (English). Together we develop and promote research on games at Manchester Met, and we have unique expertise in creative research methods, game making, and games for social impact.
