The Smith student body consists of demographics typically underrepresented in both games and the gaming industry, and we hope to change that by creating an encouraging starting point as well as a platform to vocalize opinions and experiences in order to shift gaming culture.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Email<\/strong>: gap@smith.edu<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h4>CONTACT US:<\/h4>\n<p>Joce Kofke<br \/>\n<em>Gaming Archives Project Student Coordinator<\/em><br \/>\njkofke@smith.edu<\/p>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Michele LaFleur<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div><em>Young Library Circulation Evening Supervisor<\/em><\/div>\n<div>mlafleur@smith.edu<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OBJECTIVE:\u00a0 To connect people interested in gaming To open up research areas of interest around games To gain a collaborative space that hosts opportunities for discussion where a collection of underrepresented gamers&#8217; responses to games can be archived In response to a growing area of Smith student interest in computer programming and engineering, and the &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/gaming-archives-project\/about-gap\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;About GAP&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-20","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/gaming-archives-project\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/20","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/gaming-archives-project\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/gaming-archives-project\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/gaming-archives-project\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/gaming-archives-project\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=20"}],"version-history":[{"count":18,"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/gaming-archives-project\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/20\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":411,"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/gaming-archives-project\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/20\/revisions\/411"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.smith.edu\/gaming-archives-project\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=20"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
