      Because...studying representations of different groups throughout the history of any artistic medium can be edifying and revealing of actual social biases that exist, among other things?

      I guess, in one sense, it's a helpful understanding of some of the sensitivities I need to consider when dealing with games studies. I'm an English prof, and my area is 18thC literature. I began vigorously reading games crit and published an article.

      My chair wanted a video games class and I was the only one on staff with a remote possibility to teach it (or that wanted to). It was called Lit and Video Games, not hardcore into the design side: mostly the class was a celebrating of gaming and its possibilities . . .

      I wish our small regional college would hire someone who really does game studies, but they're just not going to do that. So I constantly feel the imposter syndrome for good reason. A lot of the people tagged here have been really nice in helping me, as have others in the field.

      So I'm caught in this bind - are there ppl who could teach this class a lot better than me out in the field? Yes. At Murray State University? Not really (there's one, but she's got her own specialty). Mainly I just ensconce myself in the literature and try to learn more.

      So I guess I understand a bit of animosity toward academia, and maybe my side of it, and the way we approach scholarship or teaching about gaming. It's reasonable, and we have a lot to learn.But those aren't the debates I get into on campus. It's always "a class on gaming? why?!"

      Based on what I can glean about you and your class from this thread, you seem to be approaching the subject matter with the respect, and interrogative desire, that it deserves. Try not to be discouraged by the animosity you've run into here, you're definitely on the right track.

      And as for "a class on games? Why?" one could write a book in response to that question. The cultural impact of games is undeniable, and the mechanics, narrative arcs, representative tropes and so on of games have as much to say about our world as do the stuff of any other medium
