The Chair\u2019s program lies at the intersection of the social sciences (communication, game studies, and surveillance studies) and data science and artificial intelligence. Its originality lies in treating gaming and computer technologies both as subjects of study and as methodological tools. The social objectives are (1) to identify the benefits of video games and technological developments while highlighting their risks to society, (2) to make the video game environment healthier and safer, and (3) to promote the awareness-raising power of games and their potential for social innovation.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Canada Research Chair in Gaming, Technology, and Society Date: July 2025\u2013present Type: Contracts (Research Assistant and Project Coordinator) Website: https:\/\/crc-jeu.uqam.ca\/[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=&#8221;62982&#8243; img_size=&#8221;full&#8221; css=&#8221;&#8221;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Taking into account both the scale of the phenomenon of play, the benefits of play for well-being, and its risks in the context of techno-economic developments, the overall objective&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":62996,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","dt_portfolio_category":[155,156,151],"dt_portfolio_tags":[],"class_list":["post-62998","dt_portfolio","type-dt_portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","dt_portfolio_category-consulting-project-management-contracts","dt_portfolio_category-projects-still-active","dt_portfolio_category-research-science","dt_portfolio_category-155","dt_portfolio_category-156","dt_portfolio_category-151","description-off"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/leonin.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dt_portfolio\/62998","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/leonin.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dt_portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/leonin.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/dt_portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leonin.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leonin.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=62998"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/leonin.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dt_portfolio\/62998\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":63004,"href":"https:\/\/leonin.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dt_portfolio\/62998\/revisions\/63004"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leonin.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/62996"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/leonin.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=62998"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"dt_portfolio_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leonin.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dt_portfolio_category?post=62998"},{"taxonomy":"dt_portfolio_tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/leonin.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/dt_portfolio_tags?post=62998"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
