Masculinities in Play is edited in part by Games Institute faculty member Gerald Voorhees, and Feminism in Play is edited by Gerald Voorhees and Emma Vossen.
Palgrave Games in Context situates games and play within such interdisciplinary and interprofessional contexts, resulting in accessible, applicable, and practical scholarship for students, researchers, game designers, and industry professionals. What does it mean to study, critique, and create games in context? This series eschews conventional classifications—such as academic discipline or game genre—and instead looks to practical, real-world situations to shape analysis and ground discussion. A single text might bring together professionals working in the field, critics, scholars, researchers, and designers. The result is a broad range of voices from a variety of disciplinary and professional backgrounds contributing to an accessible, practical series on the various and varied roles of games and play.
All three volumes in the series are available now for pre-order in softcover and ebook format from Palgrave Macmillan.
