Roger Travis I'm a professor of classics, a discipline that has some claim to be called the oldest discipline of all, studying the media that are usually called the newest of all. I'm also the Director of the onlineVideo Games and Human Values Initiative. I teach a bunch of zany classics courses at the University of Connecticut in Storrs, CT. Among other things, I try to convince my students that Sophocles' Oedipus could have been acquitted of the whole incest/murder thing and that Plato never wrote a single dialogue that isn't thoroughly ironic and designed to fool most of his readers (and that he has been successful in fooling almost everyone who's ever read his work). I'm also a gamer; my XBox Live gamertag is TinPeregrinus, and this blog is above all about gamer culture, and how old and good it actually is. |
