play/write Student Journal

>Mission Statement

Ā 

Our Play/Write Student Journal wants to engageĀ ([under]graduate)Ā students from any kind of background to submit brief essays including critical reflections on video games.

We offer the opportunity to both review and publish studentā€™s written works in the field of Game Studies. Our aim is to bring together different perspectives on topics in Game Studies from people with differing (scholarly) backgrounds on a student level, to foster skills of critical analysis and writing, and to promote the visibility of students who aim to find their footing in Game Studies.
