Abstract

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 dialog with researchers who study the world of games and the concept of intersectionality. Method: Our speaker is Dr. Kishonna Gray, who is an associate professor of writing, rhetoric and digital studies and African studies at the University of Kentucky. She is an interdisciplinary and intersectional digital media scholar whose research areas include identity, performance and online environments, embodied deviance, cultural production, video games and black cyberfeminism. This lecture was mediated by Dr. Suiane Costa, a researcher in the field of games at the interface with health and education. Results: Gray addressed the inevitable chains that link marginalized populations to stereotypical frames and limited narratives in video games. She also discussed how the multiple identities of black players affect their gaming experiences.
