Prof. Dr. Radde-Antweiler: Lecture “And also the ice age comes and goes”

Prof. Dr. Kerstin Radde-Antweiler was invited to give a lecture on “And also the ice age comes and goes” - The Discussion of Climate Change and Values in Gaming Discussion Forums on April 25th 12:30 – 1:30 pm at UNC Greensboro.

Professor Kerstin Radde-Antweiler explores climate change in relation to video games and gaming practices, analyzing discussions on environmental games and their narratives. Despite the prominence of climate change themes in games, her research reveals a lack of discussions about their content and connections to real-world events on gaming forums compared to other media platforms. However, reactions on gaming forums indicate skepticism and rejection of moralizing climate change narratives, reflecting broader societal distrust of governmental institutions and politicians, alongside other societal issues like the COVID-19 pandemic.
