Under the guise of a historical, performative game, Reacting to the Past is a form of active pedagogy that teaches students critical thinking and soft skills such as empathy, ethics, speech, and spontaneous thinking. Reacting to the Past teaches students to think “historically” and imagine themselves as a different sort of person while in the game, which is the deepest form of relationality and creative subversion.

Schedule
In Spring 2020, we will meet on the following six Wednesdays from 11:00 am-1:00 pm (Fall 2020 dates TBD). A year-long commitment is critical because the spring semester will involve learning, discussing, and planning and the fall semester will involve the implementation of an innovation as well as refinement and assessment.
