John Murphy, a student in CDM's Game Development Masters program and professor Jose Zagal were recently honored with a Top Paper Award at the Meaningful Play Conference held in Michigan from October 21-23. In their award-winning paper, titled "Videogames and the Ethics of Care", Murphy and Zagal explore the use of care ethics as an alternative lens through which to examine the ethical frameworks and experiences offered by videogames.
Meaningful Play 2010 is a conference about theory, research, and game design innovations, principles and practices. The conference brings scholars and industry professionals together to understand and improve upon games to entertain, inform, educate, and persuade in meaningful ways.
John Murphy was provided with funding from CDM to travel and present the paper at the conference.
