The 2023 Boston Cinema & Media Studies Lecture: Amanda Phillips

'Video Games and the Pornography of Death'

The 2023 Boston Cinema & Media Studies Lecture will be by Amanda Phillips, giving a talk titled "Video Games and the Pornography of Death."

Amanda Phillips (they/he/she) is an Associate Professor of English, Film and Media Studies, Women's and Gender Studies, and American Studies at Georgetown University. They are the author of Gamer Trouble: Feminist Confrontations in Digital Culture, as well as co-editor of the Queer/Trans/Digital book series with NYU Press. He writes about sex, death, identity, and politics in video games, with a particular emphasis on centering the insights of queer women of color and feminism in the study of technology. Her interests more broadly are in issues of racial and gender justice in and around technoculture, popular media, and the digital humanities.

This year's talk will be a hybrid event, taking place both in-person and on Zoom. The in-person viewing will take place at Collins Cinema, with a reception to follow.

This event is free and open to the public, but advance registration is required to attend via Zoom. Click here to register for Zoom attendance.
