On this episode of the GI Podcast, co-hosts Sid Heeg and Dr. Emma Vossen sit down with the Rhetoricon Team. Led by Dr. Randy Harris of the English Language and Literature department at the University of Waterloo, the Rhetoricon project is the longest running project at the Games Institute. Dr. Harris' project examines rhetorical figures in language for the purposes of building ethical language learning models and utilizing citizen science to contribute to the database. Joining the conversation are three students on the project Adeshola Ogunsanya, Drake Dong, and Nathan D'Silva, who provide their expertise from working on the database and explore how working on this interdisciplinary project has impacted them.

Welcome to the 50th episode of the First-Person Podcast and the last episode of the year 2021! As this is our 50th episode we wanted to take some time to look at the current state of academia and games studies. A lot has changed over the course of FPS's life and there have been some wild developments and stagnation in the field. We are joined by Emma Vossen who is as former EIC who works at the Games Institute as a Research Communications Writer and also teaches in the Game Design and Development program at Laurier. She will be helping us take an in-depth look of how things are and where we want to see our academic field headed.

So everything is broken: What do we do to fix the world we love? Dr. Kishonna Gray tells us how to identify the legacy of issue facing the gaming industry, and how the gaming community can give us a small window into the future of society. Emma Vossen comes back to teach us a little more about gaming's leaky pipeline.

Ep 105-106 - For this year's CJRU fund drive, we partnered with the station's gaming show, "Built to Play," to bring you "Crisis of Toxic Nerds," a two-part documentary investigating where the toxicity in geek culture comes from, and what we can do about it. In this part, BTP hosts Arman Aghbali and Daniel Rosen focus on toxic masculinity in gaming specifically. They talk to talk to Laine "Superphrenic" Yuhas about Dota 2, sexism and her organisation, Desoladies. Later, researcher Emma Vossen, an expert on gaming and gender, gives them a run down on what it means to be a gamer, and why that sucks for everyone. This episode was originally broadcast on CJRU 1280 AM in Toronto. BTP-specific funding awards are available here!
