The Humanity+Technology lecture series offers an interdisciplinary conversation about the world we make and what it means. We bring leading humanities scholars to LTU’s campus, where they help us interpret, imagine, or understand the past, present, and future of our technologies.

From #EpicWins to #TechFails: The Intersectional (in)accessibility of gaming technologies
Dr. Kishonna Gray Associate Professor, Writing, Rhetoric, & Digital Studies, University of Kentucky

This talk provides a cultural interrogation into the (in)accessibility of gaming technologies. By exploring, the Xbox Kinect, Adaptive Controllers, facial recognition, and other surveillance technologies, I explore the potentials of innovative advances in gaming and it's impact on culture. Gaming hash become the "canary in the coal mine" in providing a roadmap for possibilities and pitfalls in the gaming world but it's important to explore the technological limits along the lines of marginalized identity.
