... and of course we'll find some time to hang out! Sunday 15 June at 6pm, we'll have a reception a few of our pals across @icahdq.bsky.social in Centennial B. Let's grab a beverage and chat. =)
Are you looking to get involved with our Division? We're always looking for folks to help us promote and guide game studies with @icahdq.bsky.social and beyond. Come by our business meeting at #ICA25, Sunday 15 June at 4:30pm, Centennial B. =)
... of *of course* we're not done with our #ICA25 session previews! Another session on Friday 13 June will dive much more deeply into discussions of sexism and diversity in gaming spaces - who do we allow to play, and who do we push to margins? Let's chat, 3pm in Mt Columbia.
We're not too far away from #ICA25, folks? If you're there on Friday (13 June) at 1:30pm, we'll be hosting a panel focused on serious games and gamification - one of the most enduring convos in game studies. AND ... we didn't even use the "Leveling Up" pun. ;p
Yet another of our #ICA25 shares? Our Game Studies research escalator, where we'll see research ideas on the rise. Come join us, Saturday 15 June at 10:30am in Centennial A.
Another of our #ICA25 panels? A collection of scholars discussing how the notion of "time" is understood in game studies, both in and around video games and play. Sunday 15 June 1:30 pm in Mineral C of the conference venue. Can you find the time? =)
Next up in our preview of #ICA25? We've got a Monday afternoon panel for those folks attending International Communication Association until the very end. This one? Focused on gaming communities for streaming and online gaming. Monday, June 16 1:30 1:30 PM- 2:45 Mineral A (Regency 3)
