Title: What’s in a Girl Gamer? A Preliminary Phenomenological Study of Female Gamer Identities
Developed under the guidance of Dr. Dean Farmer , Communication Studies

This study explores how the changing landscape of video game culture may influence female gamer identity, highlighting the lived experiences of women gamers, their observations, and how these experiences influence identity construction. Through a phenomenological tradition-based lens, it strives to address whether gender is ultimately relevant in co-researchers’ interactions.
