In response to the #Congressh2020 theme of "Bridging Divides: Confronting Colonialism and Anti-Black Racism," CGSA/ACÉV seeks to amplify and celebrate the critical work of Black and/or Indigenous game scholars.

To this end, accepted submissions from Black and/or Indigenous scholars, or that address colonialism and anti-Black racism, will be highlighted as plenary sessions, and Black and/or Indigenous grad students will be eligible for a small bursary.

The CGSA/ACÉV community continues to work hard to be an inclusive, welcoming space for women, people of colour, queer and trans folks, and other marginalized and precarious scholars. gamestudies.ca/inclusivity/
