Professor Richard Bartle is coming back for a new lecture, September 14th!
This marks the first of a series of public lectures hosted by GAME this autumn in our course Human Rights and Diversity in Serious Games 2010. Like last year we’ll invite speakers from the industry, arts, academia, press, government and more, to discuss human rights and diversity in the context of modern interactive technology. All lectures are free and open to the public!
Bartle is a professor and game researcher at the University of Essex. He’s most famous for having created MUD (multi-user dungeon) – the first of what would later evolve to become massively multiplayer online role-playing games. He’s one of the regular writers over at the popular science blog Terra Nova, with a focus on the study of virtual worlds and he was the examiner for our own doctor Mirjam Eladhari’s dissertation. 🙂
He will be talking about human rights in virtual worlds and his work with the European Council to create an HR-manifest for games.
Time: Wednesday, September 14th, 10:00-12:00
Location: E22
Keep questions and discussions in the student forums please.
