play/write Student Journal

>reflecting on games_

Our Play/Write Student Journal wants to engage ([under]graduate) 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 student’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.

Open Call for Papers

We are once again looking for essays written by students in the field of game studies. If you are a student of game studies or a related field and have recently written (or are currently writing) an essay related to games, we encourage you to submit it to our call for papers.
This will give you the chance to receive feedback from our editorial team and be published in the next issue of our student journal.

Extended Deadline: October 15th, 2023


Formal Requirements:
Citation Style: Chicago Manual of Style, 17th Edition, Author-Date
Word Count: 800-2000 words

For follow-up questions, please contact kcgl@aau.at.

We look forward to reading (and publishing) your work!
