1. The Emotional Work of Family Negotiations in Digital Play Space: Searching for Identity, Cooperation, and Enduring Conflict

Author

Wright, J. Talmadge and Embrick, David G.

Abstract

Computer game play has been criticized for disrupting family life by some who claim digital fantasy play alienates individuals from everyday interactions, even as others hold that such play increases sociability among players and their families. The authors argue that the truth about game play is more complex. They draw on research using participant observations and interviews with players about a well-known massive multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) "World of Warcraft" and examine the struggle within families about time spent playing, family responsibilities, enhanced family dynamics, and the distances created by game playing.

6. The Growing Need for Insurgent Black Studies.

Author

Williams, Johnny Eric and Embrick, David G.

Abstract

Historian Carter G. Woodson was also a founding framer of Black Studies who created the Association for the Study of Afro-American Life and History in 1915 to promote the study of Black life and history in order to "bring about harmony between the "races" by interpreting one to the other." Black studies or Africana Studies emerged from the larger social and political movement of global Black liberation in the late 1960s as a nascent academic field. Their protest led to the creation of the first Black Studies department in the United States. [Extracted from the article]
