Harrison Charles

Visiting Lecturer


Harri Charles recently completed his PhD at Birmingham City University, being awarded his doctorate in 2025. His work explores gay adult video games and constructions of sex and sexual content in video games. His thesis explored the sexual play of gay adult video games through a subjective queer player position, considering the extents these games structure sexual agency and sexual conducts. His research engages in discourses around (queer) sexual representation in games, queer gaming cultures, gay pornography, affect, play theories, masculinities, subjectivity, and the use of autoethnographic approaches in conducting research. He is a member of the Games Cultures and Gender and Sexuality research clusters within BCMCR.
