Center for Gaming Research names scholars for residencies
The Center for Gaming Research on Tuesday named the five scholars who have been selected to complete residencies at the University of Nevada Las Vegas Special Collections.
The students are part of the Gaming Research Fellow program for the 2011-2012 school year, said David G. Schwartz, the center's director.
Each fellow will deliver a talk as part of the Gaming Research Colloquium series and contribute a paper to the center's occasional paper series, Schwartz said.
The 2011-12 Gaming Fellows are Kah-Wee Lee, Thomas Norman, Jessalyn Strauss, Lynn Gidluck and Christopher Wetzel.
Lee, a doctoral candidate in architecture at the University of California, Berkeley, will on Sept. 15 deliver his dissertation on how architectural design, urban planning and other environmental factors in Singapore and Macau are used to draw the line between which vices are tolerated and which are not.
