For International Women's Day this year, we responded the question we asked in our last post, "How Did the Games Industry Receive You?" in our newsletter 💪

By sharing one of our largest experiences of pushback against us being female devs, we want to address the moments our industry has been inaccessible to us in an effort to make it welcoming to other women and other femme-identifying developers. As we shared in our last post, we strongly believe that opening up about and sharing experiences can lessen the weight they hold not only on ourselves, but on people who have been made to feel isolated from similar experiences.

Science Queens 💜 patreon.com/rgbcn For International Women’s day, I wanted to draw Amy and Bernadette working their science magic together. My fav scientists. I love to draw them each year. Women in STEAM is something so important for me, and soon I will be able to share this with my little one too. We planned this drawing together yesterday on my live session on youtube. It was a messy process, improvising it but it was so much fun. Last slide was another idea for the drawing, but we ended doing the other version. You can check the full process on my channel.

Dear Adventurers, 

It is a striking thing when one loves every part of a process; that is a journey in itself. Starting an online business for school in May 2020, it blew my mind when ANY success took place. Graduating from school amidst lockdown last year instant made me realize, I forgot to have fun in life. Gaming and new technology, a library of new information, still only a drip to my thirst for new ideas. How do I satisfy my passion for living? What was next? Through several, exhausting IRL issues, I realizing I was not living my best life, I must continue on the path to see where it led. I was living the best I could for the situation, but what was good for ME? Thinking creatively, around February 2021, I began to share my wanderlusting ways with anyone who would listen and began my exploration through how to make this work. “Backpacking the world” was a dream I’d had as a child, so I went for it! A website, podcast, online store, YouTube channel, and social media to support it all just a few weeks later, and I’m getting ready to share it all with YOU! It is a tough thing to share the small steps and progress, as it feels like a mountain to climb. But how else can we track the progress without a little perspective, eh? This project is more difficult than any ONE thing I have done since beginning my journey as a Multimedia Designer; this project pulls on EVERYTHING I do not know, so thus I want to learn and share it all with you. The goal is to journey the world, learn and question what I thought I knew, and process these new perspectives through art while sharing each step of the adventure with YOU. Thank you, because your part in this story is just as important and I appreciate you! Welcome to my story, welcome to “There Goes Sara Rose.”

Summer session A is finally over. I completed my final portfolio project in the form of a website titled AfterDeath. I chose that title because afterlife describes what happens to the soul/spirit/consciousness of someone that has died, and I wanted to focus my final project on what happens to the physical body instead. I had a lot of fun building this website. It’s not as detailed as it could have been, but that is mainly because there was a presentation that went along with the final project, so part of my argument was delivered orally.

I also completed my final course reflection on Friday. I’ve been thinking of some of the points I made over the weekend, mostly in regards to how I could apply what I learned in this class to my life. There are the obvious aspects of it, such as what grief can look like and how people use religion to cope with the trauma of death, but I’ve also been considering looking more into modern body disposition methods. I think it would be fun to research composting from an engineering perspective. Perhaps I could even make a career out of it. There is always room for improvement in the engineering world in terms of efficiency and resource cost, and making death easier for grieving families by reducing costs is something I think I would find fulfilling.

Bias and discrimination are everywhere. It's something we as a society are generally trying to improve. But when it comes to solutions, there is nuance in terms of cultural and social context, personal perceptions, and privilege that can complicate matters.

Join us as we speak with Raksha Kumar, an award-winning journalist and documentary filmmaker with a focus on land, forest, and human rights issues. We speak about Raksha's investigative work into the layered and complex issues of caste and sexism in India's tech industry, and elsewhere too.

Show Notes

(00:02:11) Raksha's focus on human rights in journalism. (00:02:39) People are interesting, and each person matters. (00:05:03) The impetus for writing about sexism in India's tech industry. (00:05:11) Writing about caste in India. (00:05:47) India's caste system. (00:06:33) A court case in the US raising outside awareness to caste discrimination. (00:07:08) Equality Labs. (00:07:35) The case was covered in India, but there was no discourse around caste in the Indian tech industry. (00:09:22) When discrimination was raised in the investigation, gender kept coming up. (00:10:24) Everyone talks about gender discrimination in tech. What makes India different? (00:12:40) "Tech came with a promise of a flatter world." (00:13:12) The privilege of being blind to discrimination. (00:14:09) The implicit threat to remain silent for fear of repercussion. (00:15:14) The varied reasons for remaining silent, and the individual interpretations of discrimination. (00:16:52) Privilege and discrimination are not mutually exclusive. (00:18:19) Awareness of our individual privileges and the affect of our intersectionality. (00:20:50) Observations: There hasn't been any research in caste discrimination in the Indian tech sector, and the more you delve into gender discrimination the more layers there are to investigate. (00:23:56) The drivers behind a high percentage of women in tech in India. (00:25:03) An open economy and upward mobility. (00:28:45) The subconscious awareness of your career 'expiry' as a woman. (00:29:41) The two-body problem in a different context. (00:30:57) The issues aren't unique to tech, but the way they manifest can be. (00:32:40) Intense, and potentially exploitative, work environments. (00:32:51) Wrong paper, I meant: Becker, SO., Fernandes, A., Weichselbaumer, D., 'Discrimination in hiring based on potential and realized fertility: Evidence from a large-scale field experiment', Labour Economics, vol 59, 2019, pp 139-152. (00:34:10) What makes some of these issues uniquely tech. (00:37:22) Women's visibility. (00:38:56) The support structure around women and careers. (00:41:06) The need for bi-directional support. (00:43:04) Do you know how much work it takes to make something look effortless? (00:44:01) Well meaning policies which become unintentionally discriminatory. (00:46:12) Law needs to take culture into consideration. (00:49:01) The need to incorporate the humanities into science and technology education. (00:51:45) Science is about questioning. The questioning should be about all aspects of the work, not just the science. (00:55:18) Raksha's observations from her investigations. (00:58:21) The journey between knowledge and realisation.

As part of National Women's Month, we're reflecting on the space we hold in the games' industry, the privileges the allow us to be where we are as a team, and the bias that has tried and continues to try and obstruct our path.

So, for National Women's Day this year, we're coming out with our second issue in our newsletter series: Belonging in the Industry! This newsletter will specifically address hurdles and backlash we've faced for being women in video games or our goal of making the space more accessible for women and other femme-identifying people. We strongly believe that opening up about and sharing experiences can lessen the weight they hold not only on ourselves, but on people who have experienced the same and feel isolated because of it 💪

As part of this effort, we want to hear about your experiences, too: As a women or femme-identifying dev, how has the Game Industry received you? 🎮🕹
