And finally 5) For Japanese language classes, playing games in Japanese with the class can open up students' language skills to the next level. Start with games for "younger" audiences like Pokemon - it's still quite challenging for learners!

3) In my experience, students love talking about the physicality of games - game stores and arcades, game discs and boxes, etc. This is where media studies, STS etc can come in
4) Playing games in the classroom is not only fun, but can also build critical observation and discussion skills

1) For educators less familiar with game studies approaches, it's totally possible to teach games using techniques from traditional literary studies (like looking at symbolism, analyzing characters,etc)
2) Japanese games can provide an accessible window into less discussed aspects of modern history

As someone who taught a class titled “Parade of One Hundred Demons” earlier this year on yokai, this list made me so excited to teach it again :)

What is the "foot hearing aid"? Or the "spoken-voice typewriter"? What is the connection between teachers in Japanese deaf schools and mid-century cyberneticists obsessed with blurring the human senses? What is a "minor assistive technology"? Check out the article to find out!

4) How can we as professors use VR as a way to teach about disability and access? What are the pedagogical benefits and pitfalls of this? and 5) How can we zoom out and take a broader view of disability, VR, and intersectional activism?

The article centers on major Qs: 1) How has the current "VR Boom" coincided with disability activism in Japan? 2) How has disability shown up and been represented in current Japanese VR software? 3) What are alternative ways disability can appear in VR that is actually empowering for activists?
