Event Photo

Michelle Lyons-McFarland, a PhD candidate in the Department of English, will explore what it means to take plot, trope, and narrative and turn them into game rules, in effect highlighting them for players/students and audiences. What are the consequences of including social games in the classroom? How can you turn a classic work of literature into a game, either for personal amusement or pedagogical purposes?

Pre-lecture reception begins at 4:15 pm in Clark Hall Room 206.

Free and open to the public.
