This course examines the political movement of queer and transgender artists and programmers
who are creating games and computational media. Throughout the semester, we will read work by queer,
trans, and feminist scholars and designers and play the games they created in order to situate today’s queer
and trans games movement within the histories, contributions, and politics of queer and trans people & people
of color. How might we re-imagine the radical potentiality of video games and software by centering game
studies on queer and trans life, history, & politics?
