[Air-L] CfP: Gaming and Gamers in Times of Pandemic

[Piotr Siuda]

Dear Fellow AoIR Members

Please feel invited to submit a paper to the “Gaming and Gamers in Times of
Pandemic” collection. The editors of this CfP are already in discussion
with the MIT Press GAME HISTORIES SERIES editors who enthusiastically
voiced support for the collection.

And/or maybe you could help and spread the word to whomever may be
interested - e.g. forwarding this email to other researchers.

You can find the CfP attached in this email.

The volume seeks to examine the impact of Covid-19 and resulting government
policies, especially the lockdowns, on one particular cultural sphere:
games.

Extended abstract submission deadline is May 1, 2022.

All the best
