Butler Library is seeking panelists for its Game as Culture panel on Thursday, November 19, from 12:15 to 1:30 p.m. (Bengal Pause). The panel is part of a weeklong event, Gaming as Culture and Career, that will include panel discussions, game demonstrations, and open gaming events.

Gaming has influenced our culture in many ways, some obvious and some subtle. The video gamers’ lexicon has influenced our language; video game elements have opened up discussions about sexism and racism; role-playing games offer an escape from reality by allowing players to create an alternative reality. How do you see the impact of gaming on our culture? We encourage faculty members with an interest or research focus on the culture of gaming to share their views and expertise with the campus community.

More details on Gaming as Culture and Career will be forthcoming. If you're interested in being a panelist or to learn more, please contact Leah Galka, academic outreach and engagement librarian, 878-3291.
