Women in Games 2005 July 17, 2005 - by Ian Bogost The Women in Games 2005 conference is coming up this August 8-10 at the University of Abertay Dundee in Scotland. The conference promises material about both the role of women in the games industry and future games that might appeal to women. Keynote speakers include Ernest Adams, an independent games designer, teacher, founder of IGDA, Melissa Federoff, a Microsoft Games Usability Engineer, Constance A. Steinkuehler, a MMORPG researcher and game columnist, and Aphra Kerr, a game researcher at the Centre for Media Research, University of Ulster. I know Ernest, Constance, and Aphra and can strongly recommend them. And I'm sure Melissa must be a top pick to find herself among that company. Registration is open now; student prices are available. Comment from Tore Vesterby on August 5, 2005
I'll have to agree with you Ian on Constance and Aphra for the keynotes - they're great speakers. I don't know the others, but my expectations have just been raised a little. I just can't resist pluggin the Thinking past Pink: Critical considerations of women and gaming panel, which TL Taylor will be moderating. Mette Fairgrieve, Tina Lybæk, Emma Witkowski and yours truly will be presenting results from four differnet empirical studies of female gamers. I hope it'll be interesting for any listeners there.
