Beavis, Catherine – Changing English: Studies in Culture and Education, 2013

Beavis, Catherine; Charles, Claire – Gender and Education, 2007
In this paper we consider the significance of cyber "LAN" cafes as sites where on and off-line practices meet in way that complicates binary notions of the gendered gamer.
