Also that just doing it “digital” does not mean there is pedagogical forethought or it is antiracist in any way.

Also for the
#DH &#MedievalTwitter folks Busa was an Italian fascist. Card carrying. Worked for DARPA. He was probably also antisemitic because he sure as hell did not let Jewish scholars on that Dead Sea Scrolls project (Jewish scholars did not get access until the 90s).1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

I think of this. These ppl are going to say: omg let’s do digital games. We are now done w/ our pedagogy. This is going to be a racist hot mess. If they do not address the white supremacist hot mess of games in representation & structure.

Going trying to explain to ppl that just b/c you role play the past Does not mean this is good antiracist pedagogy. The white handwringing about this. If the digital tool or lesson has not been planned with antiracism throughout, it is going to be a mess and cause harm.

This is right on. I just saw a simulation of segregation that models the process through individual choice. Very few games/models include structural forces. I id have my students make board games from our readings on community processes and I have considered doing this online

Twine would work but working through the very question of antiracism must happen from the get-go. Also you cannot think that social justice is going to happen by making white people do empathy games—-full arguments about VR and the BS of making white ppl experience

Trayvon Martin’s last night as some immersive affect experience is flat out racist pain porn. Lisa Nakamura discusses this. It has to be something else entirely. There are huge issues about point of view.

I had this discussion w/ the Holocaust museum b/c they were wondering about VR for museum goers and “immersive” concentration camp experience. I said I think this would be really terrible. I did suggest that one option I could think of was to push into the inherent nausea of VR

I hear you about some of the problems w/ VR and even gaming but I think there are opportunities to go beyond some of the bad design & application - like you said it has to be thoughtful and done well.

Yes but it definitely requires a lot of analysis, digital tool evaluation, and than deliberate antiracist design.

Agree! And I'm not sure there's a lot of processes out there that help people do that.
