Dear Colleagues,


The fully online annual conference <https://gamestudies.ca/cgsa-acej-2023-sustainable-action-sustaining-action/> of the Canadian Game Studies Association is happening soon. The conference theme is “Sustainable Action/Sustaining Action,” which both expresses CGSA’s continued commitment to anti-racism and decolonization and signals our concern for the ecological impact of games and academic conferencing.


Recorded paper presentations can be accessed now and between June 6-9 there are live discussion panels with paper authors, workshops, and special events including keynotes by Gabrielle Trépanier-Jobin (Université du Québec à Montréal) on “What Ecofeminism and Decolonial Studies Have to Teach Us About Raising Ecological Awareness Though Games,” and Alenda Y. Chang (University of California, Santa Barbara) on sustainably developed games “Animal, Digital, Vegetable, Mineral: An Unsustainable Guessing Game.” In all, the conference features 80+ papers, lectures, and workshops from critical, humanities, and social-science approaches (see the online program<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zMX48z2bSML8PfAzBPjGs7VWeFhfCmPFM3NkCUGxj_I/edit?usp=sharing> for more information and details about workshops, play sessions, and special events).


To attend the live panels and gain access to recorded paper presentations, you will need to register for the conference here<https://www.eventbrite.com/e/cgsaacej-2023-conference-tickets-423673808767>.

Black and/or Indigenous students who are members of CGSA can register for the conference for free.


We hope you’ll join us for an amazing online conference!
