Micro Mega Meta

Anne Burdick will present Micro Mega Meta, a design-driven inquiry into the future of humanities research and scholarly production.

What pitfalls might designers face when making games for social change? Flanagan takes the audience through a number of propositions that uncover strengths and weakness of games as a medium for social change and revolutionary play.
