The second annual Games, Learning & Society (GLS) Conference to be held June 15-16, 2006 in Madison, Wisconsin will explore such issues. Sponsored by the University of Wisconsin-Madison School of Education and the Academic ADL Co-Lab, the GLS Conference fosters substantive discussion and collaboration among academics, designers, and educators interested in how videogames – commercial games and others – can enhance learning, culture, and education. Speakers, discussion groups, interactive workshops, and exhibits will focus on game design, game culture, and games’ potential for learning and society more broadly.



This symposium will address computer games, computer game play, and computer game players as analytically inseparable. What questions does this raise for the study of computer games as popular media texts or events; for theories of spectatorship and subjectivity in film and media studies or agency in the study of technoculture; for our understanding of distinctions between the human and the technological?
