Ian Bogost, professor in the School of Literature, Media, and Communication, was interviewed in Casual Connect. "As a game designer, Bogost creates games that comment on social and political issues. His games have dealt with airport security, consumer debt, disaffected workers, and the petroleum industry—to name just a few. two of his most notable games are Cow Clicker, a Facebook game designed to parody standard Facebook games like FarmVille, and A Slow Year, which uses games as a spark to create the sort of emotional and artistic experiences otherwise associated with poetry." In this exclusive interview, Bogost explains his experience in gaming, computing, and the liberal arts connections.
