🎮🎲 Scott DeJong

I will not be posting here for the foreseeable future. If you are interested in my work on disinformation and media literacy you can find me through links in my bio. Off to bluesky, LinkedIn, and generally less social media.

I'm happy to more officially announce that I received a @FulbrightCanada Scholarship for my research on disinformation games. I'm feeling deeply grateful for this opportunity and if you want to follow along or talk about it I'll be documenting the journey scottbdejong.ca/post/what-is-u…

@theiceberge @AnaSalter @melstanfill @GamerTroublePhD @MyOwnVelouria Incredible! Congratulations!

Looking forward to sharing some of the educational work I have been doing on AI ethics. The other panelists seem incredible, and I am glad I can share the mic with them.

@ginahara_ @Ein_news Of course! Anytime!

@SWBdejong @Ein_news Thanks Scott!!! Will you still come over to play games tho? 😀

I'm excited to announce, that I'll be joining the Canadian media organization Pink Triangle Press as Advocacy Manager. Their trailblazing team has been working on creating a better world for #2SLGBTQIA+ people since 1971. einpresswire.com/article/698992… via @ein_news

Looking forward to talking about ethical AI use from a perspective of education and interactive media. Lots of emerging questions here, and taking a media literacy angle has proven fruitful in helping us make sense.

Thanks #SCMS2024. Was great to share about 5 dollar game design (gigs + games) with @WorldIsSquare.

Did you know that you can get fully designed games through the gig economy? How does this work and what concerns does it bring up? I'll be at #SCMS2024 in Boston presenting on this with @WorldIsSquare. Come say hi!
