    colleges and universities."</span></p><div>
    
    <p><span>Steven
    will hold a dual appointment; he is assigned to both the Department of
    Sociology (under Dr. Celine-Marie Pascale) and the Game Lab (under Dr. Andrew
    Phelps).  He will be doing research on the nature of discourse in
    male-dominated subcultures, in addition to game theory research on tabletop
    role-playing games.  The appointment is for two years.</span></p>
    
    <p><span> </span></p>
    
    <p><span>Steven
    personally and deeply thanks his program advisor, Dr. Christine Mallinson, and
