This #GDoCExpo talk will encompass the many ways game communities are built through collaborations among game scholars, players, and makers, focusing on the recently published and free-to-read essay collection, Made in Asia America: Why Video Games Were Never (Really) About Us (Duke University Press, 2024). By tracing a narrative of their engagement with gaming communities over their careers, the speakers hope to show how collaborations are possible for multiple forms of knowledge sharing and inspiration, from the classroom to the expo to online game-jams and to making space within mystifying academic circles.
