Description
Workshop facilitated by Dr. Janelle Malagon and
Dr. Krista Benson.
Sponsored by the Digital Studies Minor
This hands-on workshop will open up a conversation among students and faculty interested in centering Indigenous worldviews and sovereignty in settler educational settings. We will use two Indigenous-authored and -illustrated 2D video games— Thunderbird Strike and When Rivers Were Trails—to explore how Indigenous worldviews and languages shape how we learn, what we know, and the games that we play. Open to all participants, we encourage participants to download the games to devices that they can bring to the workshop.
This event also appears on the main events calendar tagged as brooks, digitalstudies, gaming, indigenous, sis, and videogames.
