I am excited to attend “Role-Playing the Humanities,” a two-day symposium at the Taft Research Center at the University of Cincinnati. The event brings together over a dozen scholars, designers, and players to think and chat about and (hopefully) play games. Thanks to Evan Torner for the invitation. I am looking forward to meeting some folks whom I’ve known remotely for years. The event’s description reads:
Join us for two days of panels, workshops, and play as 15 expert designers and scholars of role-playing visit UC’s campus! Learn about the new cross-college BFA in Games & Animation and how role-playing can enhance the work of the humanities.
Featuring: Cody Pondsmith, Tim Kask, Jonaya Kemper, José Zagal, Michaele L. Ferguson, Nicolas Proctor, Aaron Trammell, Shelly Jones, Emily C. Friedman, Edmond Y. Chang, Megan Condis, Jason Cox, Maria K. Alberto, Beatrix Livesey-Stephens, Luke Hernandez, Antonio Roda Martínez, Evan Torner, Katherine Castiello Jones, Cassandra Jones, Susan Longfield-Karr, Andrew Cullison, George “Loki” Williams III, and Elaine Bettochi.
