This workshop, led by professors Gerald Voorhees and Kishonna Gray, synthesizes insights from leading voices in games research and/or creation to help games researchers, educators, makers, and students adopt equity-oriented principles and practices. Participants should come to the workshop with an ongoing or upcoming project in mind and leave with an plan to embed anti-racism, decolonization, and equity, diversity, and inclusion (ADE) into the research questions, execution of project (including methodologies and organization of the lab or team), and knowledge dissemination strategy. This 4 hour workshop will feature seminar style presentations, large group discussion, and small group discussion. Participants will hear brief reports on A. established, emerging, and overlooked lines of ADE-oriented inquiry in games scholarship, B. research and scholarship on white, heteropatriarchal presumptions and biases in games and play research, and C. best practices and new avenues for embedding ADE values and practices in research. Participants will also engage in discussion facilitated by workshop leaders A. about how ADE is and/or is not taken up in their subfields and the disciplines in which they were trained, B. to collaboratively develop and generate feedback on select sample ADE plans, and C. in breakout groups to create ADE plans for each participant before reporting their plans to the large group for further feedback from other participants and workshop leaders.
