Sean\nGouglas (University of Alberta)\, Dr. Alison Harvey (York\nUnivers ity)\, Vishal Sooknananl (Western University)\, Dr. Johanna\nWeststar (W estern University)\, and Dr. Jennifer Whitson (University\nof À¶Ý®ÊÓƵ).  \n\n  With recent waves of layoffs\, high-profile workplace harassment\ ncases\, and a notoriously short career length for gender minorities and\n people of colour\, the transition of new workers into the game industry\ni nvolves navigating a spate of barriers to equity and success that\nhave be en understudied in academic research. The First Three Years is\nan ongoing longitudinal study of graduates of game programs in Canada\nand the Unite d States\, following the journey of 207 students as they\nmove into the ga me industry. In this workshop\, our research team will\nsummarise the prim ary challenges students have identified in their\ngame programs. This summ ary includes equity and diversity issues\ninherent in common curricular pr actices such as the efficacy of\ncapstone courses and internships\, the in clusion of crunch-like\npractices in the classroom\, the systematic failur e to inform students\nof actual workplace conditions\, and the mismatch be tween student\npreparation and industry hiring practices. Afterwards\, par ticipants\nwill address whether/how these problems manifest in their own\n institutions\, and what solutions might improve equity outcomes for\nstude nts seeking careers in games.\n DTSTAMP:20250523T173452Z END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT UID:6830b1bc38a93 DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20230920T170000 SEQUENCE:0 TRANSP:TRANSPARENT DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20230920T183000 URL:/stratford-school-of-interaction-design-and-busines s/events/critical-tech-talk-black-media-philosophy-and-beyond-armond SUMMARY:Critical Tech Talk: Black Media Philosophy and Beyond with Armond R .\nTowns CLASS:PUBLIC DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nMuch of the contemporary research on race in commun ication media\nstudies begins with media representations. However\, for th is talk\,\nArmond R. Towns will focus on the relationship between the mode rn\nresearch university\, race\, and the development of communication and\ nmedia studies in the early and mid-twentieth century\, with a focus\nspec ifically on US and Canadian communication and media studies. Like\nthe mod ern university\, the discipline of communication and media\nstudies\, Town s argues\, has a difficulty with understanding non-Western\nlife. This tal k is a beginning conversation on how to push toward new\nforms of understa nding humanity beyond Western life. The topic of who\ncounts as human is c rucial in a context where big tech aims to control\nthe future of so-calle d humanity and the AI race closes the gap\nbetween human and machine commu nications.\n\nThis is a hybrid in-person and virtual event. Following the talk\,\nthere will be a short reception for in-person attendees at the Sci ence\nTeaching Complex (STC) Room 0050.\n DTSTAMP:20250523T173452Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
