Apologies for crossposting Hello Friends, In response to concerns raised by our membership, The Video Game Studies Scholarly Interest Group will be running a free online information session for students, practitioners, and scholars interested in presenting research at the Society for Cinema and Media Studies 2022 conference, which will be taking place between March 31st and April 3rd at the Fairmont Chicago Millennium Park and Swissôtel. The information session will take place on Tuesday August 3rd @ 12 PM PST/ 2 PM CT/ 3 PM EST over Zoom, and it will feature advice for prospective conference attendees on the drafting of panel and paper proposals that meet conference guidelines, insight from a member of a past programming committee, and an opportunity for current members interested in connecting with prospective conference attendees for the purposes of collaborating on game and gaming related panel proposals. If you would like to share a short panel proposal (or an idea for a panel proposal) with the Video Game Studies Scholarly Interest Group, please let us know through email (david.murphy@ryerson.ca) by Monday August 1st @12:00 pm EST. Short (2500 characters) proposals can be shared on your behalf, if you are unable to attend, or over Zoom if you would like to join us. Sincerely, The Video Game Studies Scholarly Interest Group Executive Committee David Murphy is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
