Research interests relevant to game philosophy

I am broadly interested in games (and the various ways to study them), but my primary background is cognitive film and media theory, so I tend to see things in a formal-functional perspective incorporating game genres and grounded cognition. In addition to this type of work, I also do empirical work on games and gamers within what one might call mainstream sociology.
