Two faculty members in 91²Ö¿â’s Department of Humanities and Communication
will discuss how board and video games can be used to examine the humanities during
a Humanities Symposia on Thursday, April 2.
Scott Chappuis, Ph.D., and Joanna Claudy, both assistant professors, will speak on
“Looking at the Humanities through the Lens of Board and Video Games.â€
They will share examples and experiences from their classes and their own lives. Attendees
will be encouraged to ask questions and provide their own experiences.
Originally created as a platform for artists and scholars to showcase their research
outside of conferences, the Humanities Symposia has developed into a series of presentations
with diverse speakers, covering a wide array of topics applicable to humanities.
