Camryn Riccitelli - Masters Student
I am a settler MA student in the Critical Geographies Research Collaboratory at the University of Victoria, living and learning on unceded Lək̓ʷəŋən and W̠SÁNEĆ Territory. I am interested in understanding how colonial narratives are perpetuated through modern media, specifically within game spaces. My masters research focuses on how games can be used as a tool for decolonization, education, and social change, with the intention of making the gaming world a more inclusive and diverse space.
