Hello, my name is Judd Ruggill and this is my personal site. By trade and training I'm a scholar and teacher of mass media history, theory, and criticism. I'm particularly interested in digital technologies and the ways in which they're transforming the form and function of film, television, and other electronically-mediated modes of communication. In my spare time I co-direct the Learrning Games Initiative (LGI), a transdisciplinary, inter-institutional research group that studies, teaches with, and builds computer games (see http://lgi.mesmernet.org for more information). Anyway, you can find samples of my scholarship as well as my CV and other professional materials by clicking on the "Files" button to your left. Cheers.

 

Btw, I'm currently working on a junk mail research project. If you'd like to send me spam, please do so at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it Thanks.
