[Commlist] Call for Abstracts - February Conference

The academic network MultiPlay <https://multiplaynetwork.org/>is 
delighted to announce that on Tuesday 15th February 2022 we will be 
hosting ‘Sex and Romance in Video Games’ with paper presentations on 
this theme.

Presentations will last twenty minutes, with a ten-minute question and 
answer session at the end of each slot.

We ask for submissions to consist of a 300 word (maximum) proposal, 
including references using theHarvard reference style guide 
<https://www.mendeley.com/guides/harvard-citation-guide/>, as well as a 
short author biography of no more than 100 words. These should be 
emailed to (networkmultiplay /at/ gmail.com) with the heading ‘Sex and Romance 
in Video Games.’

The deadline for submissions is Friday 21st January 2022.

We invite researchers to have fun with this theme. However, we have 
provided some prompts (but these should in no way limit your ideas):

  * Romancing an avatar
  * Finding and clicking the g spot: sex as a (dis)embodied gaming
    experience

  * Sex work and playbour
  * The art of romance in video games
