Dear colleagues,

 

We have extended the submission deadline for our upcoming symposium ‘Non-Toxic: Alternative masculinities in gaming, esports, and streaming’ to this Friday, 15 August. Please do join us! We welcome early stage, work in progress, and developed thinking as we explore this important space.

 

Potential topics on men and masculinities include:

• Game choices
• In-game character performances
• Player personas
• Platforms, algorithms, and mediatization
• Platform economics
• Intersections with race, disability, sexuality, age
• Language and topics in chat
• Intermediaries – management, coaching, moderation
• Audience management
• Amateurs, professionals, and monetization
• Avatar customization and design
• Player bodies and spaces
• Questioning ‘toxicity’
