ABOUT ME

PhD student in Media and Communication working on the political economy of digital games and co-creation. Think "Marx meeting World of Warcraft".

PHILOSOPHY

I am trying to understand society and up to now Marxist critical analysis has offered the best explanation for me (paired with cultural studies and some anthropology).
