Episode 13: What We Take With Us from Anniversaries, eSports and Wellbeing Games (with Amy Ahn and Ana Kirlitz)

On the actual anniversary episode of Game Academy, Steph and Adam talk about their busy, busy lives. PhDs are a drag. They never stop. But they should! Don't forget about your personal lives, everyone! They then split off a bit to do something different: two separate interview segments! First, Steph is joined by Amy Ahn to talk all things eSports and Overwatch 2 in the wake of the eSports courses many universities are loving so much. Then, Adam has a chat to Ana Kirlitz, resident also-PhD student who is studying gaming communities for wellbeing through the self-care game "What We Take With Us". The takeaways? Join Multiplay's eSports leagues and go and play What We Take With Us. Two excellent ways to take care of yourselves as we approach Easter! Finally, Steph catches us up on all things Massively Multiplay, including Adam's "What We Take With Us" workshop (how did Ana drag him into all this again? Something about values, probably), and all the open CFPs, including a reminder about the Pokelab conference, which is now happening as part of Massively Multiplay's Massive Month!Check out our Linktree to join the Discord: https://linktr.ee/MultiplaynetworkJoin our Overwatch 2 eSports team: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1HgCgBAEvJS0ZHc7Ng372_n98FJR9CBPefYMcgQm8na0/edit#gid=0Join our Rocket League eSports team: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1hT2hRb59k58U2OXH6ugtl2kSATIkf1Zh-QYyJNLhRQs/edit#gid=0Check out What We Take With Us here: https://whatwetakewith.usAnd Ana's Discord server: https://discord.gg/mhSpKmGQkvCheck out MultiPlay's massive CFP library: https://multiplaynetwork.org/call-for-papers/Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/multiplaynSend questions and abstracts to networkmultiplay AT gmail DOT com Hosted on Acast.
