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).

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

The book play to learn has good chapters I shared with them on the lingo and concepts of game design and they had to spend time thinking about how the theory could be translated into game play. They also played and evaluated each others’ games

I know a lot of people have mixed feelings about incorporating gaming into teaching anti-racism (and there are certainly some bad stuff out there) but I think if it's done well, it can be very powerful.

One could argue that Jane Elliot's Blue eyes/Brown eyes is a game (it's typically presented as an exercise) that is an anti-racist learning activity. I think people may get caught up in worrying about technology...which is valid but it shouldn't close off opportunities.

It is that bit where antiracist digital has to align with antiracist pedagogy and then antiracism in your specific field/area/period. This is the challenge now.

That's the sweet spot, right? Alignment is key here! And this is not easy....it takes a deep learning design approach, which takes time that people typically don't have.

Yes this. It is intense now trying to give one’s field some discussion/resources for antiracism in the area, then explaining how digital must align and how this literally means reevaluating their units and the tools/units/pedagogy for antiracism.
