Excited to say my presentation for U of Waterloo's online conference on Race and gaming this week is all prepped! I talk about a theoretical take on what impacts African Americans at gaming tables. Deeeep sociology & #gamestudies . (The conference is online and FREE if you want to attend)

Okay I have no idea how to message in this thing. Email me at dashiell@american.edu and I'll email you a copy of the article if you are still interested.

I AM SO SORRY. I am crappy about checking BlueSky. I'll DM you today either a copy or a email request

hope you like it - just signal/message me if you don't have access.

New Publication alert!! Just realeased - "Revisiting epic glory in Dagorhir: Bleed, masculinity, and identity in larp" in the Journal of American Culture. It has #larp#mensstudies#gamestudiesonlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10....

WOOT!

I hope I never turn into the guy who is loudly proclaiming at a conference nobody ever cites him. It's supposed to come off as scathing, but it's coming off as egocentric and self-scathing.

Happy to announce to all of #academia that I have just accepted an appointment as a Research Assistant Professor at Morgan State University! I will be working on the discourses of particularly African American men as they engage in the social world! Woot!

Coming to an @aoir.bsky.social conference near you! (If 'near you' is Philly in October).

My recently released collaborative article with newly minted Dr. Henry Korkeila and Dr. J. Tuomas Harviainen. In it we discuss gaming capital in forums of the game Overwatch. Under EU guidance it MUST be OpenAccess so download it! journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10....
