Student Kai Jones delivers a talk on representation in digital art standing in front of the WGS South 2026 conference logo that features their sketched self-portrait. On the projected slide of the logo is an illustrated self-portrait pointing at the sketch.
Graduate student Michael Butler presents on sexuality and romantic themes in video game design, and how these plot lines are sometimes unnecessary to the narratives. On the projected slide behind him are illustrated versions of the main characters of his game in progress, Alistar.
Student Samantha Davis presents on accessibility as a key function and responsibility in game design. Behind her, the projected slide reads, “what if games were made for the disabled?”
First-ever conference presentation is in the books for these amazing student creators! So proud of their work!
