I am a Professor in Game Studies at the School of Media of Université du Québec à Montréal and the co-director of the research group Homo Ludens. My PhD thesis explores the possibility of using parodies as playful means to denaturalize gender stereotypes, raise consciousness and empower people. During my postdoctoral fellowship at MIT Comparative Media Studies | Writing, I pursued my work on gender parody in the field of game studies. I am currently conducting funded research on player immersion, on diversity and inclusion in the gaming industry, as well as on raising ecological ans social awareness through games.
