dr. L.A.W.J. (Lars) de Wildt

Lars de Wildt studies how media cultures and industries shape contemporary worldviews.

His NWO-funded Veni project "Reorienting Global Gaming" (2025–2029) studies how Western games adapt to Chinese worldviews; and his first book, The Pop Theology of Videogames: Producing and Playing with Religion (2023, Open Access) studied how Western game developers sold religion to secular audiences. Lars was previously part of the AHRC-funded project "Everything Is Connected: Conspiracy Theories in the Age of the Internet."
