Intersectional Gaming: Critical Design for Radical Futures – CDRS

Join the Collaborative Digital Research Space for a talk with Kishonna L. Gray, professor of racial justice and technology at the University of Michigan.

Gray examines the impact of technology on culture and how marginalized users, in particular, shape the creation of technological products and the circulation of digital artifacts. Her work is based on analyses of game play, platform design, and digital infrastructures. 

She is the Director of the Intersectional Tech Lab, a Mellon funded initiative. She is the author of Intersectional Tech: Black Users in Digital Gaming (LSU Press, 2020), Race, Gender, & Deviance in Xbox Live (Routledge, 2014), and is the co-editor of two volumes on culture and gaming: Feminism in Play (Palgrave-Macmillan, 2018) and Woke Gaming (University of Washington Press, 2018).
