Gender, Identity, and Video Games

Thursday, February 19, 2015

Northrop — Best Buy Theater

Video game demos: 3-4:15pm

Discussion: 4:15-5:30pm

Join us for a discussion about the structural inequalities and prejudices present within the video games culture and industry from a variety of viewpoints. We will explore the ways underrepresented genders and races historically have been treated in technological sectors and how they are specifically manifested in video game culture. We will hear from scholars, students, and members of the broader community in the Twin Cities. Before the event, participate in a social exhibition of games made by students and local developers. Light refreshments will be provided.
