Dr. Marina Fontolan

I am a Visiting Assistant Professor at the department of Radio-Television-Film, Moody College of Communication - The University of Texas at Austin. I am teaching History of Video Games, Video Game Industry, and Video Game Culture + Criticism. I have a PhD in Science and Technology Policy at Unicamp and my dissertation's title is: "It is €0,10 a word! The role of localization in the videogame industry". I also have a Master's in Cultural History, a B.A. in History and a teaching degree in History (all from Unicamp). I was a visiting scholar in several universities: Stanford (fall 2013), Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (2018-2019), Robert Morris University (Spring 2022), and Freie Universität’s Osteuropa Institut (November 2022). My goal at CEMI is to foster game industry studies and develop new partnerships with scholars and labs around the world.
