I’m a grad student with a lot of interests beyond my immediate research, which centres on online gaming. In terms of my research, I’m especially interested in the benefits of online interaction, and the ways in which we can effect social change and other positive effects through games. On a larger scale, I also have interests in political protest, environmental issues, and altruism, also in terms of this research.

When not online, I spend a lot of time thinking about and working on a variety of social issues and causes. I believe in small change, and especially in the power of small change for a large group of people. I don’t want to be scared or intimidated or overwhelmed by change, and so I’m trying to find ways that I can bring change into the world in myself and the people I know one little bit at a time. I believe change can happen in all sorts of ways and to all kinds of ends, and that the more ways we can induce change, the better.

If not this world then where?” - John Gorka
