I’m really looking forward to flying off to New England at the end of this month for the “Gaming Representation” symposium that fellow game studies scholar Jen Malkowski is hosting at Smith College. The symposium is inspired by the exciting recent release of Gaming Representation: Race, Gender, and Sexuality in Video Games–a collection featuring work by yours truly, but also lots of other amazing folks doing scholarship at the intersection of video games and identity.
I’ll be in some great company for the symposium at Smith. Other speakers will include Soraya Murray, Lisa Nakamura, and TreaAndrea Russworm–plus, I get to hang out with one of Jen’s undergrad classes the day before the symposium itself, when I’ll be talking with them about queer time in games.
New England autumn and the liberal arts, I’ll see you soon!
