Title, Abstract & One Final Push (and some editing)

A (very) brief update today, but I’ve (finally) come up with a title and wrote the formal abstract for my dissertation. After hundreds of pages of writing, one would think that the abstract would not be as challenging as it was. If interested, you can find it here.

I feel a very strange mix of pride and fear as I put this out there. For so many years, I have only talked about my work, while publicly presenting my secondary research interests. In some ways, keeping my primary research close to my chest has kept it safe in my head, but there comes a time when I have to just put it out there, hold my head up and be proud of what I have been working on over the last few years.

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.
