Biography
Charlotte Gislam is a research assistant on the GAMEHEARTS project co-led by The University of Salford and The University of Vienna. The GAMEHEARTS project aims to explore the economic, social, and cultural value of the European video game industry ecosystems (EVGIE) within the broader context of the creative and cultural industries (CCI). The project will consider the importance of the EVGIE in contributing to economic growth, job creation, physical and mental wellbeing, and social and cultural cohesion, by particularly focusing on how a stronger and closer working relationship between more the traditional and emergent cultural sectors, can work better to create more inclusive and socially responsible cultural experiences.
Charlotte completed her PhD at Manchester Metropolitan University in 2023. Her thesis, entitled “The Effect of the Non-Human on the Generation of Narrative and Space in Digital Games”, interrogates the agency of AI and game-spaces in the generation of narrative, and identifies games as sites of collaboration between the human and the non-human.
