Greetings! We are so excited to announce this week our most recent projects as Steve and I are authoring a chapter in the upcoming Walking Dead Psychology book. The author of the book Batman and Psychology, Dr. Travis Langley, has commissioned chapters to members of the psychology community for this upcoming book and we could not be more excited to be a part of it. Our chapter will focus on the journey of the much loved character, Daryl Dixon.
Also, it was confirmed this past week that we will be hosting a panel at PAX East 2015! "The Unexpected Journey: Geek and Gamer Identity and Culture" has been accepted and scheduled tentatively for Friday, March 6th at 5:00pm in our Arachnid Theatre.
It has also been a week of exciting connections in our community with connections with a local community college and school district. We will post more about potential events and appearances in the upcoming weeks.
However, with all of these opportunities, I am more limited in time to blog so I will continue in last week’s tradition of sharing interesting articles and videos related to geek and gamer culture. This video is a TedTalk about 7 ways games reward the brain. Enjoy and have a great week!
