Games can both create and counteract violence. We will look at how they recreate oppression and we will start to make the games we'd rather see. We will map how power operates in computer and video games, particularly militarism, gender violence, racism, and rape culture, and we will write Twine games tracing paths to more just and less violent futures. Participants will leave with a starting analysis of oppression in games and the basis for one of their own game designs.
