Games growing up (again)? Intersections of Ethics, Law, and Policy in our public and private spaces
by Florence Chee
Through the last two decades of concerted effort in studying games, the field has gotten more complicated, mature, and developed. However, the continuing instrumentalization of games as they permeate all aspects of daily life and livelihoods serves to highlight the tension between playing for work and pleasure. In this talk, Prof. Florence Chee will provide an overview to essential debates in games/gaming as they intersect with ethics, law, and policy--along with what it means to research games through academia, industry and government in today's global regulatory landscape.
Florence M. Chee is Associate Professor of Digital Communication in the School of Communication, Affiliate Faculty in the Department of Computer Science, and Director of the Center for Digital Ethics and Policy (CDEP) at Loyola University Chicago. Internationally and nationally sought out as a speaker, writer, and advisor, her sociotechnical interventions inform and influence decisions made in design, development, and policy arenas. This year, she has been named to the Fulbright Specialist Roster for 2025-2028 and has recently focused on the US and Swiss game industries while serving on grant funded work in Switzerland. Florence Chee is founding director of the Social & Interactive Media Lab (SIMLab) based in Chicago, USA.
