A Crash Course in Games Studies and Research | MAGFest 2026

Game Studies (also known as ludology) is the study of games and how we play them. But how does one even get started studying games, especially when there are so many different facets of them to explore? During this panel, our panelists will discuss their research projects, their distinctive journeys into games research both in and out of academia, and how you can start your very own research project! Panelists: Adanna Nedd [Games Writer, Narrative Designer & Games Researcher, afnarratives@gmail.com] Javon Goard [Independent Videogame Researcher, jstonee.wordpress.com] Dr. Akil Fletcher [Postdoctoral Fellow & Lecturer, akilfletcher.com] MAGFest is run by MAGFest, Inc., a volunteer-supported 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to furthering the appreciation of video games, video game culture, and video game music.
