The Politics of Play: Media Representations of Women in Gaming
Join us for a talk by feminist game studies scholar Stephanie Orme on the gender politics of the video game industry and how it affects the larger media discourse on phenomena such as Gamergate. Stephanie Orme is a researcher from The Pennsylvania State University interested in the intersections of gender, sexuality, race, and other dimensions of identity as they relate to the production, consumption, and understanding of video games and gaming culture. She has previously taught at Suffolk University and Emerson College and is currently working on her PhD in feminist media studies.
