Title:
- All in a Day's Work: A Study of World of Warcraft NPCs Comparing Gender to Professions
Developer(s):
Description:
This study explores whether non-player characters within World of Warcraft reinforce stereotypical assumptions surrounding gender and work. Even though all professions are represented (albeit not equally) by male and female NPCs, there seem to be subtle hierarchies within the distribution of “work” in this gameworld.
