We are excited to announce this year’s Chinese DiGRA conference, hosted 
by the Academy of Visual Arts at Hong Kong Baptist University on the 4th 
of December 2021. Given the current restrictions on travel, we are 
planning this year’s Chinese DiGRA as a hybrid online and in-person 
event. Accepted papers will be pre-recorded as videos and live panels 
and paper discussions held in person and on Zoom.

We invite submissions on any aspect of Chinese games, game industries, 
game design and gaming cultures. We also invite submissions from people 
located in the Chinese-speaking region who are researching any aspect of 
games. The conference encourages papers from students and early career 
researchers as well as game industry workers. In addition to encouraging 
general submissions, our keynotes and themed panels will engage the 
converging trajectories of user-generated content and cryptocurrencies.

Organization description and history

Chinese DiGRA is a regional chapter of DiGRA (Digital Games Research 
Association) focusing on game research relevant to Chinese speaking 
countries and the surrounding regions. Chinese DiGRA aims to enhance the 
quality, quantity, and international profile of games research in the 
Chinese-speaking context, by developing a network of game scholars and 
researchers working in the Chinese-speaking world and/or on aspects of 
Chinese games and gaming cultures, forging links between academic and 
professional researchers on games, supporting teaching and PhD 
development in the region, and disseminating and promoting Chinese game 
scholarship around the world. Chinese DiGRA is run by a board comprised 
of top academics in the fields of Chinese games research from Mainland 
China, Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan. You can find more information on 
Chinese DiGRA, including papers from previous conferences, at our website.
