Research title: Press X to Interact: Developing a framework to improve archaeological communication with the producers and consumers of Classical Video Games
Research Summary
My research focuses on the ways in which the Classical Past is mediated through mass culture, specifically video games. Video games are one of the main ways members of the public engage with the classical past. It is therefore important to engage with what they are communicating as well as what audiences learn about the past from games.
My PhD includes the practice based element of desigining a video game that aims to highlight different aspects of the classical past than are traditionally shown in video games.
