Texas A&M Ph.D. Candidate Anthony Ramirez & Convergent Media member joey lopez recently presented “Critical Cultural Exploration of Video Game Stores Within Tejanx Communities” through Zoom at the Texas Tech Gaming Symposium – “The Hispanic and Latin American Video Gaming Experience: Imagery, Industry & Audience.”

The Symposium was awesome! While we had hoped to go in person, the hosts canceled in person when Texas weather decided to get crazy. You can check out the full article on Anthony’s blog where we published the paper, a podcast and our images from our research.

The BMC Effect

Back in the mid 2010’s CMC co-founder Jonathan Guajardo was attending the University of Incarnate Word. He had completed his bachelors and was accepted to their masters program. For his final project he created “The BMC Effect,” a thorough look at alternative pedagogical programs that led up to the creation of the Convergent Media program at UIW and hence The Convergent Media Collective. For whatever reason, this project was never shared here at the CMC website. So we are circling back 8 years later to celebrate, promote and encourage others to take Johnny’s work and build upon it. We are always looking for more ways of thinking about teaching and process when it comes to alternative pedagogy and project based learning.
