About this Podcast
HOST: Welcome to our podcast, today I'm thrilled to be joined by an expert in the field of game design and social justice, [Guest's Name]. We're here to talk about the exciting new course, "Certificate Programme in Anti-Oppression Game Mechanics". Can you share with us what inspired you to create this program? GUEST: Absolutely, I've always been passionate about using game mechanics as a tool for promoting equity and social justice. I noticed a lack of representation and inclusivity in many games, which motivated me to develop this course. HOST: That's wonderful. Can you tell us a bit more about the anti-oppression principles and game mechanics that this course focuses on? GUEST: Of course, we delve into topics like intersectionality, power dynamics, and privilege, and explore how these concepts can be integrated into game mechanics to challenge systemic biases and promote inclusivity. HOST: Very interesting. And what kind of challenges have you faced, or do you anticipate, in teaching this subject matter? GUEST: There can be resistance to change, and some may feel uncomfortable confronting their own biases. But our goal is to create a safe and supportive learning environment, where participants can engage in open and honest discussions. HOST: That's commendable. Now, looking to the future, where do you see the gaming industry heading in terms of inclusivity and social justice? GUEST: I'm optimistic.
