"This week, I joined the British Esports Association Advisory Board!"

I am very proud to be joining the board of the British Esports Association this year, along with my colleague at Salford, Dr Maria Stukoff..

I’ve been in dialogue with BEA since 2016, when I met Chester King during the Rio 2016 Olympic Games. He was there producing what must surely be the first esports event to take place during the Olympic Games, and was suitably embedded within British House.

Since then, we’ve met all over the world to talk about the development of esports and BEA is really leading the world in terms of its values, concern about the importance of esports for social and personal development and I’m really looking forward to working more closely with them
