The current unprecedented visibility of queer creators and content comes at a high tide of resistance to the inclusion of those outside a long-imagined cisgender, heterosexual, white male norm. By critically engaging the ways games--as a culture, an industry, and a medium--help reproduce limiting binary formations of gender and sexuality, \u003ci\u003eQueerness in Play\u003c\/i\u003e contributes to the growing body of scholarship promoting more inclusive understandings of identity, sexuality, and games.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTodd Harper\u003c\/b\u003e is Assistant Professor in the Division of Science, Information Arts and Technologies at the University of Baltimore, USA.
