... of *of course* we're not done with our #ICA25 session previews! Another session on Friday 13 June will dive much more deeply into discussions of sexism and diversity in gaming spaces - who do we allow to play, and who do we push to margins? Let's chat, 3pm in Mt Columbia.

Humanizing gameplay, as one of our high-density #ICA25 panels. This one will be on Friday 13 June, 10:30am. These are great panels for getting many different "quick chats" and, we hope, sparking some collaboration and critique.

More at #ICA25? Youbetcha. We'll have a high-density session on counter and counter-culture on Monday 16 June, 9am in Capitol 4. These are great sessions, because they feature several "quick pitches" from scholars, meant to drive further conversation at @icahdq.bsky.social and beyond. C'mon by!

We're not too far away from #ICA25, folks? If you're there on Friday (13 June) at 1:30pm, we'll be hosting a panel focused on serious games and gamification - one of the most enduring convos in game studies. AND ... we didn't even use the "Leveling Up" pun. ;p

Another of our #ICA25 panels? A collection of scholars discussing how the notion of "time" is understood in game studies, both in and around video games and play. Sunday 15 June 1:30 pm in Mineral C of the conference venue. Can you find the time? =)

Making your #ICA25 plans? Take a peek at what we're up to. For this one, a high-density session of the "purpose of a game." Recall that high-density sessions feature several quick talks, with oodles of time for chatting with authors. Let's collaborate!
