I was THRILLED to host a book signing for The Psychgeist of Pop Culture at #SeriousPlay25
This series is rooted in academic generosity: mentorship, collaboration, and open access. I could not be more grateful for the generosity the #gamestudies community has shown me, and this series, in return.

What a day, Serious Play Conference.
Bonus: I got to play Death Race (it was shockingly difficult to run over the sprites?) and we managed to snap a Psychgeist author/editor meet up on the world's favorite stoop. #seriousplay25

The #seriousplay25 keynote speaker for Day 1, Michelle King, had us reflect on language and words and how when we lose our language, we’re losing parts of ourselves. It made me think about how I’ve been hanging onto German with a death grip even though I don’t use it as often as I’d want.

#seriousplay25 day 1 keynote from Michelle King. Many wonderful thoughts, just a few of which:
- How words and language are powerful tools for sensemaking and connection
- How context and location affect our understanding and perspectives

If you happened to miss the signing by @drkowert.bsky.social at #seriousplay25, a few of the authors, including me, signed a bunch of Psychgeist copies. You should grab them before they’re gone. 👀
