I am a Colombo-Peruvian Ph.D. candidate at the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. My research project is about digital platforms as political spaces, and my focus is on the video game industry and community. I did my bachelor's in Electronic Engineering and my master's in IT Management. I have always been interested in the role and representation of women in the industry of technology, especially in the video game industry. That is why I felt drawn to do my research in that area. My objective with my investigation is to bring attention to the issue of the various inequalities of women and minorities in the video game industry. I would like to contribute to solving the why and how questions around those problems and how this could be mitigated.
