Utrecht University is organizing the Ecogames 2021 conference as part of the Making Change Happen Conference Week.

With the climate crisis and its short-term repercussions becoming more and more ‘tangible,’ videogames are increasingly participating in the production, circulation, and questioning of environmental assumptions. Whether they are providing new spaces to practice alternative ways of living or reproducing ecomodernist fantasies, videogames, as well as player cultures, are increasingly tuned in to the most pressing environmental concerns. The Ecogames 2021 conference builds on the growing body of scholarship that explores this phenomenon and aims to situate it within the field of the environmental humanities and, more specifically, green media studies, moving beyond its initial focus on environmental cinema, documentaries, and television.
