The Board of Board Game Academics (BGA) is pleased to announce our call for papers for the 2025 conference and journal. BGA is dedicated to the exploration of critical issues within the distinct yet overlapping communities of tabletop board and role-playing games.
While these communities are expanding, players, creators, and scholars of tabletop board and role-playing games have traditionally been late to addressing and including diverse representations and perspectives.
For instance, production companies such as Wizards of the Coast (best known for Dungeons & Dragons) have been criticized for their continued celebration of oppressive ideological perspectives, systems, and governments.

Voices of the Earth: literary and linguistic perspectives in environmental humanities
June 4-6, 2025
University of Białystok, Poland
Suddenly, we became aware that humans could destroy the livability of the planet—whether
intentionally or otherwise. This awareness only increased as we learned about pollution, mass
extinction, and climate change. One half of current precarity is the fate of the earth: what kinds

we have for passing a habitable environment to our multispecies descendants?

Edith Wharton and Popular Culture
ALA 2025 May 21-25 Boston
Edith Wharton is regularly the question or answer on Jeopardy! these days. She’s also the heroine of a 2024 murder mystery by Mariah Fredericks. The indie band The Magnetic Fields penned a love-letter to the “masterpiece of catastrophic love” that is Wharton’s 1911 Ethan Frome, and a diverse range of voices cite Wharton as an influence or a favorite: Roxane Gay, Ta-Nehisi Coates, Beth Nguyen, and Francis Ford Coppola—whose adaptation of The Glimpses of the Moon is currently underway. A novel that, in fact, also inspired Tavi Gevinson’s 2024 audio series.
