This panel highlights emerging scholars in Black game studies. Panelists will present recent and/or ongoing work, sharing a glimpse of the emerging research questions animating the field. Topics include Black worldbuilding in and across games (Fletcher), perceptions of Black male exceptionalism in gaming cultures (Dashiell), and the relationship between avatar representation and Black user experience in social VR (DeVeaux). This event is part of the “ADE for Game Communities: Enculturing Anti-Racism, Decolonization, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (ADE) in Games Research and Creation” series from the ADE Committee of the Games Institute, University of Waterloo, and is supported in part by funding from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council.

Register for the Canadian Graduate Engineering Consortium (CGEC) Fair 2023 to explore Master’s and PhD opportunities with Canada’s Top Engineering Graduate programs. 

The CGEC brings together nine of Canada’s top universities – Concordia, McGill, McMaster, Queen’s, TMU, UBC, UofT, UWaterloo and York – to address the urgent need for qualified engineers who can solve today’s most complex technical, social and environmental challenges. 

Representatives from all 9 partner universities will be present at every event, so you can meet and speak with faculty, admissions advisors and students in graduate programs to answer your questions about your desired field of research and how to apply. The CGEC runs from September 19 to October 3and is hosting a free fair on each participating university campus.

UWaterloo day is on Tuesday Sept 26, at the E7 2^nd Floor Events Space.

This hybrid panel covers the exploration of biometrics (or physiological measures) in game user research, driven by advancements in sensing technologies and the increased accessibility of signal processing tools.

Come to our annual election night, have fun with the current ITE members and other like-minded people

Join us for an enlightening discussion led by Dr. Andrew Wong, Distinguished Professor Emeritus, on the groundbreaking research in Pattern Discovery and Disentanglement (PDD) within the field of machine learning. Dr. Wong's paper titled "Theory and Rationale of Interpretable All-in-One Pattern Discovery and Disentanglement System" introduces PDD as a revolutionary paradigm that uncovers intricate associations in relational data, enhancing decision accuracy and interpretability.

Join us at the Round Table with Eva Wu and Prof Elisabeth Prince!

Engineering Day 2023

Northern Canada is home to approximately 120 remote Indigenous communities where the only way in or out is by air. The price of food, especially nutritious or perishable foods, can be extreme—a typical household of two adults and two children spends an average of $2,800 on food per month. Unsurprisingly, between 24 and 68% of each community experiences some form of food insecurity compared to the Canada-wide average of 13%.
