Not only has gaming become a massively popular spectator sport, even universities are growing their varsity rosters with e-sports teams. Add physical distancing requirements due to COVID-19, and gaming rates will continue to soar.
These trends are what makes the work of Recreation and Leisure PhD student Joseph Todd so relevant. Inspired by personal experience, Joe aspires to have a career in gaming research and influence change in the industry. Ultimately, he hopes that he can enhance the spaces that foster online communities and help more gamers develop rewarding and life-long friendships, just as he did.

The University of Waterloo acknowledges that much of our work takes place on the traditional territory of the Neutral, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee peoples. Our main campus is situated on the Haldimand Tract, the land granted to the Six Nations that includes six miles on each side of the Grand River. Our active work toward reconciliation takes place across our campuses through research, learning, teaching, and community building, and is co-ordinated within the Office of Indigenous Relations.
