Associate Professor, Multimedia, Department of Communications Studies and Multimedia

Andrew Mactavish's primary line of research focuses on digital games and digital gaming culture. In 2009, he was awarded a five-year grant from the Canada Foundation for Innovation, in collaboration with Jacques Carette (Engineering) and Jeff Trzeciak (Library), to study visual scale in digital games and to apply their findings to the design of “serious” games. His previous research on games has focused on the participatory elements of digital gameplay and gaming communities, and the performative pleasures of interacting with special effects technology. His other research interests include digital photography and digital media design.
