Designing Blackness

Join us for Designing Blackness, a unique Black History Month workshop that bridges the worlds of gaming and diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). Led by Kishonna Gray, professor in the U-M School of Information and expert in digital culture and DEI representation in gaming, this session will dive into how Blackness is in gaming spaces. Participants will explore how gaming can serve as both a platform for expression and a tool for advancing DEI, gaining insights into the power of representation and the opportunities to shape inclusive digital worlds.

This workshop is designed for University of Michigan master’s students, doctoral students, and postdoctoral fellows. For faculty and staff, please contact [email protected] to see if we can accommodate your attendance.
