Disrupting Disciplinary Divides for Digital Futures

In 2022, The Games Institute (GI) ran its first-ever seed funding competition. Thus far, the GI Seed Program has supported eight interdisciplinary collaborations with $110,000 of funding. In addition to this funding, researchers have used the GI labs, equipment, and staff support to meet their research goals.

The Seed Grant recipients have combined their varied expertise to tackle real-world problems facing indigenous communities, healthcare workers, mothers facing homelessness, citizen scientists, and more by creating local solutions to global problems.

On April 19th, 2024, the seed funding recipients will come together at the GI to present their work to the university community.

This is a free event and all are welcome to attend. Registration is required and lunch is provided.

**This event is in person only. Masks are welcome but not required for this event. Please do not attend if you have any cold, flu, or COVID symptoms.**

Workshop on Structures of Care and Accessibility with SoftChaos

This is a free, virtual event! Registration required.

In this workshop, members of the worker cooperative game studio SoftChaos will discuss how building structures of care and accessibility into the team's day-to-day working environment can strengthen the creative process of developing games, and will lead participants in interactive exercises to inspire them to bring similar ideas to their own work contexts. The workshop will take place online over two hours.

A Discussion on Indigenous Research and Epistemology
Friday, May 26, 2023 10:30 am - 12:00 pm EDT (GMT -04:00)

Indigenous Research and Epistemology - a discussion

How should we conduct research in cooperation and partnership with Indigenous communities? What does it mean for Indigenous scholars and students to do research within the colonial structures and settler epistemologies of Western universities? The panelists, consisting of Indigenous students and researchers as well as settlers working with and for Indigenous communities, will share their perspectives and experiences on these questions. They will begin a conversation to help us consider these and other issues related to Indigeneity in the context of Western academic cultures and practices, and invite questions and discussion to develop our capacity to Indigenize research and scholarship.

Workshop on Physiological Measures for Games and VR: Novel Tools and Approaches

The utilization of physiological measures in games and virtual reality (VR) has garnered significant attention in recent years. 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.
