Soft Power in Esports: Attraction, Legitimacy, and Geopolitical Strategy<\/strong><\/span>
\nEgil Trasti Rogstad<\/span><\/i><\/h5>\n

This talk explores how esports have become more than entertainment and competition. Drawing on two recent studies, I examine how esports can function as a form of soft power and how they are increasingly linked to diplomacy, legitimacy, and geopolitical strategy. I also discuss the rise of esportswashing through the case of Saudi Arabia\u2019s growing involvement in global esports and how this has been framed in Norwegian media. Together, the studies show how influence in esports is produced, contested, and normalized in digital culture.<\/p>\n

Egil Trasti Rogstad is an associate professor in journalism at Nord University, Norway. His research focuses on esports, media, and power, with particular attention to legitimacy, governance, and representation. He has recently worked on questions related to soft power, geopolitics, sports washing, and gendered power relations. His work examines how esports are shaped not only by entertainment and competition, but also by broader political, cultural, and institutional forces.<\/p>\n

Rehearsing the Future: Games and Speculative Design for Exploring AI-Driven Socio-Technical Futures<\/strong><\/span>
\nRomi Mikulinsky<\/span><\/i><\/h5>\n

How can we prepare for futures shaped by AI, automation, and hybrid digital-physical (phygital) environments? In this talk, Dr. Romi Mikulinsky\u00a0explains how\u00a0games, speculative scenarios, and phygital game environments can operate as structured tools for research and design - helping us anticipate, test, and critique emerging socio-technical transformations.\u00a0Situated at the intersection of game design, speculative design, and human-computer interaction, the lecture reflects on the potential of games as methods for foresight, participatory inquiry, and experiential learning in times of rapid technological transformation. The lecture draws on gamified workshops and experimental role-playing environments to show how playful simulations help\u00a0decision-makers, technologists and creatives navigate\u00a0uncertainty, interrogate emerging technologies, and rehearse possible futures before they unfold. The talk concludes by offering a practical toolkit of design principles for running gamified foresight workshops across research, policy, and organisational contexts.<\/p>\n

Romi Mikulinsky, Ph.D., is a design strategist, researcher, and game designer working at the intersection of emerging technology, ethics, and societal transformation. With over 20 years of experience across academia and the international IT and media industries, she develops participatory tools, game environments, and gamified foresight formats for municipalities, foundations, and research consortia in Europe, Japan, and Israel. Formerly Head of the Master\u2019s Program in Industrial Design at Bezalel Academy, she holds a Ph.D. from the University of Toronto's English department and is currently a researcher at Tampere University\u2019s Game Research Lab, exploring how AI, spatial computing, and immersive environments reshape cities, workplaces, decision-making, and collective imaginaries.<\/p>\n
