Key 1: Craft Your Approach
Craft your approach.
The Geena Davis Institute has been a pioneer in promoting diverse representation in entertainment and media by focusing on six major identities and their intersections: gender, race/ethnicity, LGBTQIA+ identity, disability, age, and body type.
Key 1 considers how individuals' experiences vary depending on their intersecting identities, and how our own identity shapes our perspective. We present two learning achievements that can inform and enhance your approach to game design:
Achievement 1:
SELF-REFLECTION
Achievement 2:
INTERSECTIONALITY
Tap into personal reflections to guide thoughtful and respectful creative choices.
Explore and understand how individuals' identities overlap and influence their experiences, to help you create authentic, multidimensional characters that will resonate with your players.
