Call for Participation: EVE Online Workshop at DiGRA 2013
Despite being released in 2003, the sci-fi massively multiplayer online game EVE Online has garnered little academic study. 2013 celebrated the 10th anniversary of EVE Online, in addition to surpassing 500,000 active subscriptions for the first time. In a number of important and fundamental ways, EVE is unique, and this uniqueness translates into the potential for interesting and innovative research. We believe that it will be invaluable to have a corpus of this research assembled together, to guide future research in this domain and emphasise the broader contributions EVE scholarship can make. Consequently, we’re delighted to invite you to contribute to an EVE Online workshop at the DiGRA 2013 conference, with the goal of discussing and outlining an ‘EVE Online Reader‘; an edited collection of EVE Online scholarship.
Enthusiastic interest in this project has been expressed from a high quality academic press. The abstracts submitted will form the foundations for the proposal to the publisher.
