This week at The Games Institute we are highlighting the work of PhD candidate Steve Wilcox. From the English Language and Literature department at the University of Waterloo, his research examines various forms of art such as literature, comics, and videogames and their capacity to expand the number and range of experiences humans undergo. Steve’s research at The Games Institute revolves around the idea that games excel at teaching players how to situate knowledge.
