Symposium on Afrofuturism and Diasporic Research

By exploring the intersection of game design and social justice, this presentation will demonstrate how storytelling can be used to challenge dominant narratives and amplify marginalized voices. Learn about our research where Black high school students create games that draw from their own experiences and community knowledge. I will demonstrate the core principles of the program and share lesson plan examples. As part of the session, we’ll play a short game and collaborate to design a game that reflects our collective identities.
