Video Games: Violence and Beyond
March 3 and 4, 2015
Presented by The Violence Research and Prevention Program, Griffith University
Venue:  The Royal on the Park Hotel, Brisbane

Adopting a multidisciplinary approach to the question of violence and videogames, this two-day conference program considers the impact of video games from a range of perspectives.

The program will explore the following themes :

  *   research evidence for and against the role of violent games in fostering aggressive attitudes and behaviours and violent crime
  *   the appeal and pervasiveness of games
  *   the role of games in everyday life
  *   ways in which games are approached and used in a variety of contexts

Foregrounding thorny questions about education or regulation, with a line up of internationally and nationally recognised researchers, this conference will offer a rich array of information and viewpoints on the hotly debated issues.
