Bah! Only two days to go before the deadline passes. Hopefully the BSHS will extend the deadline... 🤞 Anyone interested in forming a panel?
Hey fellow game studies folks (or even those who are only casually interested in games). Do any of you want to put together a panel or roundtable for the next BSHS conference in Cambridge? It could be super fun! We just need to link it to history of science
