Video now online! Games @ Berkeley: The Future of Game Design and Game Studies

Video games are one of the most influential media technologies of the 21st century, and the Bay Area has long been a critical hub for game development, scholarship, and preservation. To celebrate BCNM's 20th anniversary, this special event brought together leading scholars, archivists, and industry professionals to reflect on the past, present, and future of video games and their role at UC Berkeley.
Featuring Jane McGonigal (Institute for the Future), Greg Niemeyer (UC Berkeley), Alex Leavitt (Roblox), Scotty Hoag (Sphere Entertainment), Bo Ruberg (UC Irvine), Alenda Y. Chang (UC Santa Barbara), Christopher J. Goetz (University of Iowa), Rob Curl (Museum of Art and Digital Entertainment), Phil Salvador (Video Game History Foundation), Danny O'Dwyer (Noclip), and Henry Lowood (Stanford University Libraries), this day-long conference explored critical issues in game studies, design, and preservation.
BCNM is proud to make conversations with leading scholars, artists, and technologists freely available to the public. Please help us continue this tradition by making a tax-deductible donation today. If you are in the position to support the program, we suggest $5 per event or $100 a year.
