After taking spring 2018 off from the conference circuit, I’m excited to be heading back to the Game Developers Conference this coming March 2019 in San Francisco. I’ll be giving a talk as part of the Educators Summit, which takes place on Monday and Tuesday of GDC week. I love the Educators Summit because it’s a great community of folks who make and/or study games, all brought together around their commitment to teaching.
In the past, I’ve given talks at the GDC Educators Summit on topics like creating safer spaces in game classrooms and teaching students to make socially-responsible games. This year, I’m taking on another tough issue – “What To Do When ‘Toxic Gamer Culture’ Enters the Classroom.” The Educators Summit committee has asked me to talk for full hour because this is such an important and pressing issue. I’m honored!
Here’s the talk description from the GDC website. More info coming soon on the schedule:
