This dialogue features two pioneers of Black digital studies— Dr. Kishonna L. Gray, whose scholarship asks, “How are we creating and curating community?,” and fellow gaming scholar Dr. André Brock, who describes himself as an “autodidactic Black information studies” scholar who is “intentionally and openly Black in [his] scholarship…epistemology and… methodology.”
“I think if we don’t have joy as our basic premise, our basic operating system…then these institutions will eat us up.”
