Meet Ingrid Richardson

Senior Lecturer

"I really enjoy teaching students about the cultural effects and design of digital games, particularly as it coincides closely with my own research interests. Many of my students are avid game-players, from casual mobile phone games to online multi-player games, and in lectures and tutorials we engage in lots of lively debate and dialogue about all aspects of gaming. As a result I learn a great deal from my students, and in turn I help them to expand their knowledge and think critically about games, and to articulate, develop and share their ideas."
