Over the years, I have compiled a few resources for those new (or not so new) to game studies scholarship. You can find these resources here.
A listing of people on Twitter who write about, talk about, or study the overlap between video games and academic fields like psychology, communications, economics, sociology, etc.
A comprehensive listing of academic journals and publications known to publish research related to digital games.
A comprehensive listing of academic positions related to gaming research.
A (mostly) monthly newsletter about digital playgrounds.
