IGAME 3250 Geek Culture for Wellness
Geek culture is a subgroup of popular culture that is associated with a variety of media fandoms such as video games, table-top role-playing games, anime/manga, film and television, and graphic novels/comics. Within this subculture, personal and collective experiences can be deeply impacted by these expressive, niche affinities. This course invites makers, artists, and healing professionals to explore theoretical frameworks, ethical considerations, and applications of geek culture media within personal expression and experiences as well as medical, psychotherapy, education, and community settings.
