Christine Tran awarded King’s Coronation Medal
Faculty of Information doctoral candidate Christine Tran has been awarded a King Charles III Coronation Medal for the exceptional leadership she provided at Massey College during the pandemic. As Don of the Hall at the time, Tran created a welcoming and inclusive environment for the college’s junior fellows and left a lasting impact, said Massey College Principal James Orbinski in an announcement.
Tran’s current research focuses on the creator economy, examining how video platforms—from Twitch.tv to TikTok and Zoom—orient user experiences of leisure, labour, and love in the home. She is also Assistant Professor, Teaching Stream at UTM, where she has helped develop the innovative Game Studies program offered by both the Department of English & Drama and the Institute of Communication, Culture, Information and Technology (ICCIT).
