Learning to E-sport: A Swedish case study of the organization of E-sport education in upper-secondary schoolsby Azul Romo Flores
The E-sport movement has gained both public and academic attention in part due to its distinctive characteristic of converging media content, sport and media technology. However, there is limited knowledge about the educational potential of E-sports. In this Oasis Talk, Azul Romo Flores presents a short overview of her on-going PhD project titled “Learning to E-sport,” where the aim is to understand the institutionalization of E-sports through its integration in education. The talk will focus on preliminary findings from the first sub-study: a Bourdieusian examination of the positioning of E-sports in the field of Swedish upper-secondary education.
Azul Romo Flores is a PhD candidate in Media and Communication studies at Södertörn University. Her research interest lies in the social dimension of play and what people do with games (primarily through sociological and educational perspectives). She has also worked as a lecturer in Media Technology and Game Design, and as an editor for Press Start Journal.
