Todd Harper

  • Todd Harper is a researcher at the MIT Game Lab and occasional blogger about video games and other media matters. His work follows the sometimes diverging, sometimes intersecting paths of e-sports and competitive gaming (particularly fighting games) and gender and queer issues in games. A game created as part of Todd’s research, A Closed World, was an Indiecade finalist in 2012, and his upcoming book about the competitive fighting game community, The Culture of Digital Fighting Games: Performance and Practice, will be available from Routledge later this year.
