Stories Of/By/For The Field Of Play

Description:

In 2024, I've been conducting an exploratory qualitative study on the international field of play. Through questionnaires, in-depth interviews, and community participation, I've been exploring the current state of the field around play. The concept of play is rather broad and diverse; from social studies, to heath and enjoyment, to education and learning, to games and technology, and more. As such, this is less a focus on a discipline, and more an exploration of play around the world.
