Dear Colleagues,

The fully online annual conference <https://gamestudies.ca/cgsa-2022/> of
the Canadian Game Studies Association is happening soon. In line with our
commitments to anti-racism and decolonization the conference theme is “
Action!”

Recorded paper presentations can be accessed now and between May 31-June 3
there are live discussion panels with paper authors, workshops, and special
events including keynotes by anti-imperialist narrative designer Meghna
Jayanth (Horizon Zero Dawn, Sable, Thirsty Suitors) and self-proclaimed
AfroGeek TreaAndrea M. Russworm (Associate Professor, University of
Massachusetts, Amherst). In all, the conference features 90+ papers from
critical, humanities, and social-science approaches (see the online program
