Relating Philosophy and Video Games (RPG): Jordan Webber Fireside Chat
Date and time
Description
RPG are delighted to be hosting an evening with Jordan Erica Webber, video games journalist who writes for the Guardian and OXM, and the "resident gaming expert" on The Gadget Show (http://jordanwebber.com). As well as game and console reviews, Jordan also writes about game writing and the games industry, and games and society. Jordan's forthcoming book 'Ten Things Video Games Can Teach Us' also shows how video games are a great way to explore philosophical problems about morality, free will, personal identity, what it means to have a mind, and more. The evening will consist of a short presentation by Jordan on her work, followed by a fireside chat and Q&A from the audience.
As part of the evening, there will be a chance to win video games vouchers, and a free glass of wine (or non-alcoholic option) for guests. There is no cost to attend, but space is limited, so please register!
Doors open at 5.45pm, with kick off shortly after 6pm. The event will be in the Beverton Lecture Theatre, room 1.40, Main Building, Park Place. Detailed directions will be made available!
