Under the Mask is a conference series at the University of Bedfordshire that focuses upon the multi-faceted issue of the gamer. Culturally, socially, psychologically, professionally, the list of masks worn by the gamer is endless. This conference series aims to penetrate these masks, investigating why they are worn, how they are used, and how they are constructed by gaming culture, game developers, and by the gamers.
The 'Under the Mask' series also provides a unique opportunity to play, watch and make games amongst fellow gamers.
The 'Under the Mask: Perspectives on the Gamer' 1 was held on Saturday June 7th 2008 at the University of Bedfordshire. The conference papers for this event are available at papers. Images of the conference are available at images.
Under the Mask 2 will take place at the University of Beds in June 2009. If you are interested in taking part then send an e-mail to ku.ca.sdeb|remag#ku.ca.sdeb|remag
