A one-day symposium with international scholars discussing their research on the intersection of games and capitalism.

Inspired by the Alison Harvey and Seth Giddings’ 2018 special issue in Games and Culture on ludic economies, this symposium will be a place to see hear about cutting edge research into the ways in games and play are increasingly entangled with capitalism and how governments, corporations, and workers navigate this "playful" regime of accumulation.

This event is organized by Dr. Tom Brock and Dr. Daniel Joseph in the department of Sociology, and funded by RCASS.
