Gabrielle Lavenir is a PhD candidate in Concordia’s Social and Cultural Analysis program. Her research focuses on older people who play videogames, with an interest for what happens at the intersection of ageing and play, particularly in terms of subjectification and normativity. Her research also looks at the strategies of older adults who, stuck in the middle of several normative enterprises, still manage to make room for games.
