Social Safety in Online Multiplayer Games

Description

In this project, I will develop a research-based toolbox to promote social safety in multi-player online games. Competitive games in particular are known to be breeding grounds for discrimination and hate speech. The only effective tools currently available to game developers are band-aid solutions, such as features to report, block or remove abusive players. A real solution requires new strategies so that players can feel safe playing games online. Therefore, my approach is to instead strengthen game communities by developing tools that promote empathy, diversity, belonging and cooperation among players.
