This one-day symposium explores ways that play, as a practice and method, informs the humanities, arts, and education. Through an interdisciplinary series of talks, discussions, and interactive opportunities, we will explore play as a mode of being in, exploring, and transforming the world of the early twenty-first century. Participants come from disciplines that include American Studies, English, information studies, media studies, game design, visual art, medicine, and education.
