About Kelly Boudreau

I have a PhD in Film Studies with a strong focus on Game Studies from Université de Montréal. With a BA & MA in Sociology, my research focuses on the player/avatar relationship specifically addressing the processes through which the potential for hybrid-identity can emerge during video game play. Other research interests have centered on forms of mediated sociality ranging from the dynamics of social identification in online computer games and virtual worlds to the fusion of internet activity and everyday life. I am also a Rock(band) star and mother of two fantastic young women.
