Tomorrow I’ll have the chance to present some early thoughts on my work on gender, masculinity, and transgender perspectives in video games at the workshop ‘New Perspectives on Men and Masculinity in Gaming Culture’. I couldn’t be happier of ending my stay on such an exciting workshop.

Day one of #BDiGRA25 and we've already had excellent provocations to start - lightning talks on rougelikes, queer game studies, transgender emergence in games, ecogaming, and historical affects in our first session.
