Introduction: "Práticas e Cuidado: Revista de Saúde Coletiva" is pleased to publish a lecture from our special section Conferences/Lectures, which aims to broaden the dissemination of debates and research on issues pertaining to contemporaneity and their interaction with education and health. Aim: The aim of this section was to promote a dialogue with researchers who study the world of games and their relationship with education, particularly with regard to the urgent need to decolonize games. Method: Our interviewee is Dr. Aaron Trammel, Associate Professor of Computer Science at the University of California, Irvine. This lecture was mediated by Dr. Suiane Costa, a researcher in the field of games at the interface with health and education. Results: Trammell addressed contemporary debates about how games promote the values of white supremacy and privilege, becoming a colonizing media and reproducing stereotypes, racism and violence against minority groups.
