Keung Yoon Bae, an assistant professor in the School of Modern Languages, was featured in the article, 'Experts discuss gender, the body in esports', posted on February 10, 2022 in The Pitt News.
An excerpt:
Bae began her lecture by describing the cultural importance of esports in South Korea. She explained that personal computer cafés are an important component of the history of South Korean gaming because they offered accessible and affordable social gaming spaces starting in the 1990s. Bae said gaming might not be as detached from the physical world as it initially seems.
