Research? Wait, this is a blog

I have been slowly doing research on my own (usually outside of the classes I take, but sometimes I find a way to make it fit). Now I want to make this a more open research topic, and see if I get more responses with a place for people to see. I want to learn about the culture that is the 'gamer girl', including why some like the term, and others prefer other terms, or no term at all. I will be posting here when I have new thoughts on the research, or when I have new questions. If you have thoughts, want to answer questions, want to be interviewed, etc you can email me inmpha (at) u (dot) washington (dot) edu I will be keeping up to date on both the research, and what I and my other 'gamer girl' friends are doing, playing, etc (with some social science comments thrown in).
