Jesper Juul

My name is Jesper Juul, and I am a Video Game Theorist. My mission in life is to take video games seriously, while admitting how much I enjoy them. My latest book (2019) is Handmade Pixels on the meaning and history of independent video games. I have taught at New York University, MIT, IT University of Copenhagen, and I am now working at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Design. I have a PhD in video game theory (these things exist!), and an MA in Nordic Literature. In addition to writing and teaching about video games, I also develop them on occasion. For updates or comments, visit my blog The Ludologist on "game research and other important things"!
