co-edited withĀ JĆ©rĆ©mie Pelletier-Gagnon and just released by Lexington
Books.Ā Contributors from Japan, Europe, North America and Australia
employ a variety of theoretical approaches to analyze popular game
series and individual titles, introducing an English-speaking audience
to Japanese videogame scholarship while also extending postcolonial and
philosophical readings to the Japanese game text. In a three-pronged
approach, the collection uses these analyses to look at genre,
representation and liminality, engaging with a multitude of concepts
including stereotypes, intersectionality and the political and social
effects of JRPGs on players and industry conventions.āā</p> | | Uncropped Vertical | | GP0|#e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b;L0|#0e59b718f-f2f3-4654-8986-5eea60d4f90b|Publications;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c | 2022.00000000000 | https://www.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=170 | |

Languages, Literatures and Cultures, was inducted into the Order of Don
Quijote by the national Spanish collegiate honorary society Sigma Delta
PiĀ in a special Zoom event on May 1, 2021. This honor was awarded by
the leadership of Sigma Delta Pi in conjunction with the professional
organization AATSP (American Association of Teachers of Spanish and
Portuguese). According to the Sigma Delta Pi website, āThe highest honor
conferred by Sigma Delta Pi, the Order of Don Quijote, recognizes
exceptional and meritorious service in the fields of Hispanic
scholarship, the teaching of Spanish and the promotion of good relations
between English-speaking countries and those of Spanish speech.ā The
AATSP executive director cited Brownās ācutting-edge theoretical work on
the canonā that has āshaped the identity and curriculum of Spanish and
Latin American Studies,ā as well as her pioneering scholarship on
Spanish author Carmen MartĆn Gaite, Spanish literature by women and
oral-language acquisition. The president of Sigma Delta Pi noted that
āProfessor Brownās exemplary record of scholarship and professional
contributions have earned her this international distinction.ā Sigma
Delta Pi was founded in 1919 at the University of California-Berkeley.
The UD chapter was inaugurated in 1974 by the late A. Julian Valbuena,
Brownās colleague and mentor who was the first Elias Ahuja Chair of
Spanish. Prof. Valbuena was inducted into the Order of Don Quijote in
1998 in recognition of his monumental contributions to the field of
Hispanic studies.<br></p> | | Uncropped Vertical | | GP0|#99d961eb-8936-415c-9024-28a13cec289a;L0|#099d961eb-8936-415c-9024-28a13cec289a|Awards and Honors;GTSet|#0a3b6244-764a-4413-b2f1-4b4c15da868c | 2021.00000000000 | https://www.cas.udel.edu/Lists/ForTheRecord/DispForm.aspx?ID=11 | |
