Shame Free Gaming #32: The Changing Nature of Sexuality in Games
In today's episode I had a chance to sit down with someone who researches desire, attraction, and how that shapes how we interact with fiction. Dr. Ashley Guajardo is an Assistant Arts Professor at the NYU Game Center where she teaches people how to make videogames. She is also the current president of the Digital Games Research Association, the largest global research organization dedicated to advancing Game Studies as an academic discipline. She is the author of Sexuality in Roleplaying Games and one of four authors of the upcoming book Play Like A Fangirl.
