Vasil A. Arangelov (Will) is a Ph.D. student at the School of Journalism and Communication at the University of Oregon. Will’s research is on psychological reasons for engaging in communication in virtual space and marginalized communities. Will investigate these through a post-positivist lens, incorporating quantitative approaches and interviews. For his Ph.D. proposal, he wants to explore intergenerational gaming and its role as a possible contributor to increased bonding, closeness, and psychological well-being among the players through a combination of surveys and interviews.
