Welcome José Zagal to the DePaul Game Dev Faculty

José joined the DePaul Game Dev program as a core faculty member this fall, and he’s already making things happen. He’s been central in landing our spot as the Chicago location for the Global Game Jam happening this January (watch this spot for more details very soon), joining the likes of USC, RIT, MIT, Guildhall, Digipen and many others.

José’s research interests are in the development of frameworks for describing, analyzing, and understanding games. He is also interested in exploring ways to support games education and games literacy. José currently heads the Game Ontology Project and is coordinator for the Digital Games Research Association (DiGRA). He also regularly blogs about his experience with the games he plays.

José teaches Ethics in Computer Games and Cinema and Intro to Game Design.
