Two faculty members in Trine University’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.”
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.
