I’m a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Bremen, part of the Literatures and Media of Religion lab headed by Kerstin Radde-Antweiler. At Bremen, I’m also a member of the Institute for the Study of Religion and Related Didactics and the ZeMKI Centre for Media, Communication and Information Research. My postdoc project centres on community formation in digital games using a framework of mythmaking expanded from my PhD dissertation.
I wrote my PhD at the IT University of Copenhagen’s Center for Digital Play. My dissertation, Mytholudics: Understanding Games As/Through Myth, proposes a method for analysing games both as conduits of mythologies within society and as mythological structures in themselves.
I’m also the managing editor for the academic journal gamevironments and on the editorial board for Eludamos: Journal for Computer Game Culture.
This is my website where you’ll find links to all the other relevant internet places you can find me at, all of my publications, games and other projects, and the occasional blog post whenever I feel like writing something here.
All of my publications here have a link or download where you can read it for free. If that is ever not the case, please contact me and I will happily send you a copy directly and make one available online.
