CRES 139Queer and Trans Art and Games

Students study, and make, queer and trans art and games. Course considers how gender and sexuality are systems of rules often assumed in game design, and how those rules can be subverted to create novel and experimental games. By identifying and resisting cisnormativity and heteronormativity, students create original game concepts, using a critical, intersectional approach that understands that race as a constitutive element of both gender and sexuality. Students read queer theory, trans studies and game studies books and articles, play queer and trans games, and make their own original games and artwork in response.
