Canadian Games Studies Association Conference 2006

I attended the first annual CGSA conference and it was a great experience. If you are into games, you should submit a paper. Plus Vancouver, a beautiful city in early Summer.

DATE: 31 May 2008

Paper and panel proposals are invited for our second annual conference
to be held in conjunction with the Congress of Humanities and Social
Sciences (http://www.fedcan.ca/english/congress/about/). This year’s theme is “Thinking Beyond Borders | Global Ideas: Global Values”. Not all presentations need be related to this theme. Submissions are invited on all topics related to digital games and digital games research, especially those that can show an interdisciplinary or international perspective. A selected number of presenters will be invited to submit a full paper for publication in an edited collection.

General guidelines

Abstracts of no more than 250 words should be sent no later than Feb.
28, 2008 to Dr. Jennifer Jenson (jjenson@edu.yorku.ca) or Dr. Suzanne de
Castell (decaste@sfu.ca).

Panel presentations will also be considered in limited numbers. Panel presentations should include an overview of no more than 250 words, in addition to a brief summary of papers/presentations to be included of no more than 100 words each. A discussant and/or chair for the panel should also be specified. Authors submitting papers should also join CGSA (see http://contagion.edu.yorku.ca/cgsa for details).
