Event

My talk will explore the use of analog and digital games, play, and performance in the humanities, as well as the role of storytelling in the classroom. In particular, I will share my experience designing and running extended RPGs (role-playing games), and in particular, “The Miss L.A. Chinatown Missing!” game that I designed for and implemented in my Global Chinatowns class. The larger discussion will focus on issues of collaborative storytelling, ethics of role-playing cross-gender/race/ethnicity, facticity in reconstructing historical events, and the pragmatics of incorporating alternative pedagogical practices in the humanities.
