Description
The Bristol Digital Game Lab at the University of Bristol is a leader in the study and development of games for public good. Sited at the intersection of academia and the games industry and housed in the Bristol Digital Futures Institute, the Lab acts as a catalyst for thinking about and with games in the creative city of Bristol, exploring complex societal challenges and shared cultural heritage. Drawing on research from a radically diverse range of disciplines, the Lab investigates and interrogates the nature and impact of games. Our pioneering work encompasses game creation and research, conceptual game jams, knowledge exchange, and more. The Lab is currently co-directed by Dr Richard Cole (Classics and Ancient History) and Dr Michael Samuel (Film and TV).
