Games Institute Podcast

On this episode of the GI Podcast, co-hosts Sid Heeg and Dr. Emma Vossen sit down with the Rhetoricon Team. Led by Dr. Randy Harris of the English Language and Literature department at the University of Waterloo, the Rhetoricon project is the longest running project at the Games Institute. Dr. Harris' project examines rhetorical figures in language for the purposes of building ethical language learning models and utilizing citizen science to contribute to the database. Joining the conversation are three students on the project Adeshola Ogunsanya, Drake Dong, and Nathan D’Silva, who provide their expertise from working on the database and explore how working on this interdisciplinary project has impacted them.
