Dr. Souvik Mukherjee, one of our founding members and a DiGRA Distinguished Scholar, has been nominated as a Fellow by the Higher Education Video Game Alliance (HEVGA). DiGRA India congratulates you, Souvik!
Dr Souvik Mukherjee is one of the earliest videogame researchers from India and is the author of two monographs, Videogames and Storytelling: Reading Games and Playing Books and Videogames and Postcolonialism: Empire Plays Back. He is currently employed as Assistant Professor in Cultural Studies at the Centre for Studies in Social Sciences Calcutta, India.
HEVGA FELLOWS PROGRAM
Established in 2017, The Higher Education Video Game Alliance Fellows Program recognizes senior scholars in the games domain who have made significant contribution to the field in design, theory, or research. HEVGA Fellows are elected by their peers for outstanding contributions to games-based research and design in higher education. Fellows serve as integral ambassadors for the organization and are inducted as lifetime members.
BECOMING A FELLOW
Because fellowship is achieved by election, there is no fellowship application process and nominations may only be submitted and confirmed by current Fellows. Consideration of a candidate begins with their nomination, followed by an extensive and careful vetting process that results in a final ballot of current Fellows.
