Games without Frontiers

This past Wednesday, I gave a talk as part of the University of Windsor's UWin Week.

My talk was called: Games Without Frontiers: Using games to discover new geographies and generate new futures.

The slides can be found here and you can find some of the speakers notes under the 'actions' menu at the bottom of the page. The notes start off as fairly extensive but by the end of the 40 slides, I've reduced them to a handful of words.

• Social Capital and World of Warcraft
