- Bio
Grace Hagood is a doctoral student in Rhetorics and Composition at the University of South Carolina. Her scholarly interests include game studies, new media, digital humanities, and women's studies. She has a background in commercial game design, including "Fallen Earth," winner of Game Industry News' 2009 Game of the Year award for Best Online Game, and "Fallen Earth: Bloodsports."
In 2010, Grace participated in the Humanities Gaming Institute, a three week long institute sponsored by U.SC's Center for Digital Humanities and funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities. Grace is currently working on the NEH-funded serious game "Desperate Fishwives," a game of social drama and community interaction in early modern England. Recently, Grace presented a paper about "Desperate Fishwives" at the 2011 Popular Culture Association.
Grace's newest project is "Ghosts of South Carolina College: An Antebellum Augmented Reality Application," an upcoming critical interactive designed to bring into view – literally on mobile phone screens – the University of South Carolina’s largely unknown history of slavery. This serious game invites participants to interact with ghostly images of both slaves and students of the antebellum campus. GSCC mobilizes unversity records, folk history, and digital artifacts to make visible the enslaved people who built and maintained the university by recuperating their historical erasure. Grounded in research, the project gives voice to the human story of those in bondage through fictionalized narratives.
