Greg’s dissertation analyzes digital adaptations of tabletop games, using media ecology to approach this pandemic-related adaptation in media practices of tabletop gaming hobbyists. He teaches and researches broadly within media and communication studies, with a particular interest on materialized media and non-digital games.
