Through creative collaborations, the sharing of resources, the development of team-based studio work and other experiential learning, this approach facilitates the emergence of transdisciplinary and global aspirations among students and faculty. \r\rThe 2024 Conference theme is GLOCAL—local communities of practices with global impact—illuminating the ways in which games, gaming, and gameful learning are becoming integrated into teaching, research, and design practices.\r\rWorkshops, papers, panels, posters and roundtables feature topics such as:\r\rHow AI tools are changing game design practices\rGameful pedagogies and classroom practices\rImmersive storytelling across media and culture\rAccessibility and inclusion in game-adjacent technologies\rDesign and evaluation of socially transformative games in areas of global concern (inequality, conflict, sustainability)\r\r"
