[game_edu] Request for Assistance: Game Studies Course

[Archer, Matthew]

Hello list members,

 

My name is Matt Archer.  I'm a professor of anthropology at Sierra
College, located just outside of Sacramento, CA.  I'm writing this brief
email to request a bit of assistance in starting a game studies course
at my college.

 

In general, I would like to propose a course to our curriculum committee
on Game Studies, which would survey the literature in that emerging
field, address methods for researching games, and to use that
theoretical and research based background to work towards a game design
project.  I'm excited about the idea and would love to get it "on the
books" here.  The challenge is that I have been informed that I will be
unable to do so unless I can demonstrate that such a class exists as a
lower division class somewhere else in California (though perhaps beyond
California might work as well).  I've looked at many colleges.  But to
search every department's lower-division course listings at every
college in California is a daunting task.  I'm hoping that someone
participating in this list might have knowledge of a related
lower-division course which I can use to demonstrate the viability and
transferability of the course I'd like to propose.

 

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this request.  And thank
you in advance for any assistance you may be able to provide.

 

Be well.
