Identity, Industry and Games

Catalog description

Games are social. We play, watch, discuss, design and produce games together. Games industries require collaboration across teams of people with a vast range of interests, roles and kinds of expertise. Further, games are just as diverse as the people who play them. Provides an overview of how identity impacts how we play, make and talk about games. Addresses identity and other sociocultural topics as applied to three major areas: representation in game content, games-based industries and professionalization, and games cultures and communities.
