After a successful first attempt at the Big Digra, I'm proposing a workshop with Enea Bevione on Queer/Trans Game/Studies (spaces) at this year's CEEGS. Feel free to reach out if you are interested or know someone who might be! ceegs.fsv.cuni.cz/ceegs2025/

I have a new post on my blog, which started out as a letterboxd review of The Creator (2023) and expanded out into a diatribe about men who don't seem to understand science fiction. jdhdoveton.wordpress.com/2025/07/02/o...

Landed yesterday night to Malta and super excited about this year's DiGRA!

Had an amazing time at #BDIGRA25 filled with new and inspirational talks and conversations. Huge thank you to the organisers and the awesome local team at @bcmcr.bsky.social (among others @poppywilde.bsky.social @doktornick.bsky.social @harriresearches.bsky.social @andrewbell.bsky.social).

That's all from us for British DiGRA 2025! Thank you to all the speakers, attendees and - of course - the local organising committee for an incredible event. #BDiGRA25

Not very often you see your Morris Dancing team show up on a slide as part of a case study for genius loci in games #BDiGRA25 www.blackannis.org for those curious!

Awesome talk by @harriresearches.bsky.social. Contributing to the quest of making him more social.

Esteemed host @poppywilde.bsky.social steps in last minute for an emergency presentation on what Critical Posthumanism means for Britain and British Game Studies research #BDiGRA25

End of the first amazing day at #BDIGRA25. Looking forward to tomorrow for another round of talks!

Andra Ivanescu on the wild history of game censorship and certification in the UK. Side note: video nasties is a great name up for grabs by someone. #Bdigra25

Day one of #BDiGRA25 and we've already had excellent provocations to start - lightning talks on rougelikes, queer game studies, transgender emergence in games, ecogaming, and historical affects in our first session. Now on to panels exploring Game making and Culture, getting to more in depth papers.
