Dr. Alison Harvey of York University studies digital games from a communications and culture perspective. Her research looks at issues of inclusivity, justice, and accessibility in digital culture. The multibillion-dollar electronic games industry blurs the line between work and play, exacerbating the exploitation of workers. This makes it an ideal site for Dr. Harvey to study contemporary employment practices.

Assistant Prof. Ela Veresiu is a marketing scholar unlike any other. Her research on consumer behaviour deals with an impressively diverse range of subjects, from super-elite members of the World Economic Forum to Roma migrants in Italy.
