Aleena Chia is a lecturer in Game Studies and Media Studies based at Goldsmiths, University of London. She researches videogame making cultures and digital wellness practices to understand how media technologies automate work and optimise life – shaping inequalities in creative industries. Her research on videogames examines game engines and digital labour. Her work on wellness analyses lucid dreaming, neuro-wearables, and disconnection from social media.
Dr. Chia received her PhD in Communication and Culture from Indiana University in 2017 and was a postdoctoral researcher at the Academy of Finland's Centre of Excellence in Game Culture Studies in 2018. She joined Simon Fraser University as an assistant professor in 2019, before moving to Goldsmiths in 2021. |
