Welcome to Turkey's Second American Studies Departments' Joint Graduate/Undergraduate Conference 

Digital games have opened a new window on the representations and perceptions of American culture as they inform not only Americans but the rest of the world about how the US, its culture, history and people are viewed and understood. By stimulating discussions around this topic among students who are interested in this medium, we hope to create a versatile platform in which analytic methods and theoretical frameworks can be applied to the vast world of digital games.

We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for our second graduate/undergraduate conference on Digital Games as Cultural and Literary Narratives, to be held on May 16-17, 2024, which aims to explore the intriguing realm of digital games and their impact on American culture and literature. The event is hosted by Hacettepe University’s American Culture and Literature Department and organized in collaboration with the American Studies Departments of Ankara University, Atatürk University, Başkent University, Bilkent University, Dokuz Eylül University, Ege University, Haliç University, and İstanbul University.
