Critical Approaches to Video Games

In addition to critical readings by scholars in Indigenous studies, Black feminism, and video game studies including Joanne Barker, Christine Sharpe, Bo Ruberg, and, we will also read creative works by Mark Danielewski, Gabrielle Zevin, and Elissa Washuta among others to consider how books, narratives, and non-fiction essays transform in relation to video games.
