Hour one: Dr. Rachel Kowert.  Research Psychologist on the board of the Digital Games Research Association.

We will explore questios such as What is a “gamer”? And what does it mean to be a gamer today?  While the term “gamer” is often thrown around as a synonym for “player”, these concepts are vastly different. While she would argue that a player is someone who plays videos games, the term gamer refers to one’s social identity with a community of players.  Tune in for a facinating discussion from a different perspective!
