We are longtime games scholars and critics, and we want to open up the conversation about race and representation in video games. Writers, critics, academics, and journalists have been talking about race in video games for years, and yet the representation of people of color in gaming hardly seems to improve. When PoC are presented, many lack nuance. Sometimes, they are completely missing from game worlds, or, if present, are relegated to background roles. We want to create a video series exploring the best examples of diverse characterizations, the worst, and the whole spectrum between.

We have been producing videos for our website, Not Your Mama's Gamer, but we would like to take that work to the next level with a dedicated series, beginning with five videos on a wide range of topics. Each video is slated to be between 15 and 25 minutes long, and produced in a documentary style, with game footage, images, and interview clips.

Help support our efforts to expand the conversation around gaming!
