The Journal of Games, Self, & Society (JGSS) is a peer-reviewed publication created and edited by iThrive Games and published by Play Story Press. Launched in 2019, it explores how games—designed with human experience at the center—can support learning, emotional well-being, civic thriving, and social impact. Featuring interdisciplinary research and thought leadership from scholars, designers, educators, and practitioners, JGSS examines the emotional, psychological, and societal power of play.
