Description:

Every day we get assigned roles and expectations that directly affect how we interact with the world both negatively and positively. However, one might find it constricting to be only in roles assigned, not chosen. Or perhaps, a person does not identify with that role and wants to explore other paths. This can be difficult, especially for marginalized identities IRL but how about in games? In what ways do we explore roles as we play? What about this particular genre sparks joy? Join our roundtable of game developers, performers, and fellow fans in this discussion-based panel.
