Doctoral Survey – Kim Kardashian: Hollywood

In her Doctoral research, Stefania Marghitu is exploring Kim Kardashian’s brand, and how users engage with her widely successful mobile app game, Kim Kardashian: Hollywood.  She will also be discussing how the game was a popular example of what Jesper Juul calls a “casual game,” a type of gaming that is dominated by women users.

Currently Stefania is conducting a short survey on user participation and engagement in the Kim Kardashian mobile app game.
