Dr. Steve Wilcox is an associate professor in the game design and development program at Wilfrid Laurier University where he researches the relationship between cognition, play, and communication. Prior to joining Laurier, he was a postdoctoral fellow at The Games Institute where I continued developing my unique approach to game design where I treat games themselves as tools for mobilizing knowledge across communities and cultures. He is also the co-founder of First Person Scholar, a middle-state game studies publication. He also operates the website Game Studies 101, a crowd-sourced and curated archive of games, criticism, and scholarship.
