[DemocracyNet.eu-list] DemocracyNet, democracy research, experts in corruption/anti-corruption?

[R Welge]

Dear DemocracyNet people

I do have a question for the DemocracyNet research community...

In one of our current *game design**activities* (E+ project Demogames -
Analogue and Digital Games about/for/through Democracy) we are looking
for *democracy research experts*, particularly for expertise in one or
the other way related to *corruption / anti-corruption measures* (see
below for details).

Ideally,  we would like to have 1-3 contact persons for content-related
questions and persons, who can imagine to give content-related advice
and feedback during a limited period of time for the content design of
one of our games.

It would be great if you could also forward the request, made by our
partner Amanda Warner, to experts in the field, who might be interested
in being available for 1-2 interviews (or something alike), or might
know persons who might be...

Thank you!
Best wishes
Rebecca

> For one of the games, we are exploring the idea of creating a single

> will take on the role of someone working at an anti-corruption agency
> or NGO:
>
>   * Players assess pieces of evidence and categorize the types of
>     corruption.
>   * Some of the evidence relates to an overall storyline of political
>     corruption that players are uncovering over time.
>   * Players also have contact with a journalist and a colleague, who
>     can provide additional information and support.
>   * Players need to decide when their case is ready to submit for
>     further investigation and potential prosecution, and they then see
>     the results of their actions. (These results are based on the
>     strength of the case they've uncovered and other support that
>     they've built along the way.)

> We imagine the gameplay being (loosely) similar to Papers Please. Our
> goal is to create a game that is both fun and educational,
> incorporating best practices for game-based learning and digital
> education.
>
> *We need subject matter experts, familiar with the work of
> anti-corruption agencies and/or anti-corruption NGOs, to help us
> create realistic evidence and a compelling overall storyline.*
