Overview: | It's time for games to change! While we might teach games as systems, how is game education implicated in systems and structures of power? Join us to hear from five educators working on this change to break out of these power structures to include different perspectives, voices, and approaches. Whether it be focusing on accessibility, devising strategies for anti-racist game design, recognizing the game industry as a truly global phenomenon, or being more thoughtful about environmental impacts, our speakers will show strategies for making the change we want to see in games and the game industry. |
