Roblox workshop

Birds of a Feather online workshop

Date 29 January 2026

Time: 10pm - 12:30pm UTC

Location: online

Do you study Roblox? Do you want to connect with other scholars across the globe who are doing the same?

Come and join our birds of a feather meeting. Researchers studying Roblox shouldn't fly solo. This workshop brings together scholars investigating one of the world's largest virtual platforms.

This workshop aims to connect graduate students, early-career and established scholars who are currently studying — or plan on researching — Roblox.

Roblox is a virtual space with millions of daily active users playing games (which Roblox calls ‘experiences’) and potentially taking part in real time events — concerts, parties, and conferences. Currently, there are over 150 million active users daily on Roblox, with roughly 40% being under 13 (Roblox, 2025).

We welcome scholars from diverse backgrounds studying Roblox from various approaches and perspectives to share their ongoing work. This is an opportunity to connect with other researchers interested in this topic, network and discuss your research interests with similarly interested people.

This workshop will include

  *   collective discussion of participants’ research,

  *   networking activities,

  *   mentoring sessions in small groups with similar interests.

Interested participants should fill out this form<https://forms.gle/4183MouqAbaLxCaH9> until January 9 2026. We will notify participants of acceptance until January 16.
