Fellow 2025-2026 Lars de Wildt
Lars de Wildt is assistant professor in media and cultural industries at the Centre for Media and Journalism Studies, University of Groningen. He studies how videogames produce worldviews. His first book, 'The Pop Theology of Videogames,' studied how Western game developers sold religion to secular audiences. His upcoming NWO Veni-funded project, 'Reorienting Global Gaming,' studies how Western games adapt to Chinese worldviews.
From April to July 2025 he is a CAPAS fellow working on the bio- and necro-politics of post-apocalyptic videogames. Lars was previously a (visiting) researcher at the universities of Leuven, Jyväskylä, Bremen, Tampere, Montréal, and Deakin.
