GamesLit Conferences

Games and Literary Theory is an annual conference for scholars of literature interested in expanding the scope of literary theory, and game scholars concerned with adapting the methodological and theoretical approaches of literary theory for the study of games.

This year it is our honour and pleasure to invite researchers interested in games and literary theory to the University of Montreal, for the fourth annual Games and Literary Theory conference. Previous conferences were held in Malta (2013), Amsterdam (2014), New Orleans (2015) and Kraków (2016).
