At the 2025 BIPOC Games Conference, Assistant Professor Diamond Beverly-Porter showcased her rhythm-based video game Rhythm and Rope at The Strong National Museum of Play. She also presented a chapter from an upcoming book publication examining misogynoir and the representation of Black women characters in fantasy games and their reception in fandom spaces. Held in collaboration with the Rochester Institute of Technology and the University of Miami, the conference centered BIPOC voices in gaming, culture, and technology. Beverly-Porter’s work contributed to broader conversations on identity, representation, and the decolonization of game studies. Assistant Professor Tony Brave also presented at the conference on widening the perspective of gaming history with indigenous game scholars.
