The Play Research
Group, in the School of Cultural Studies at the University of
the West of England (UWE) is a forum for the development of research
into the cultural significance of play and games. A number of
the group are actively engaged in theorising computer and videogames,
whilst others are concerned with other forms of playful media
and culture from children’s media culture and toys to play
and urban cultures. The group is made up of both staff and research
students from UWE and the University of Bristol.
