Join us on Humanities at Play for a discussion about cultural heritage, music, animal-human relationships, and the environment with Kip Grosvenor Hutchins, cultural anthropologist and Visiting Assistant Professor in Anthropology and Environmental Studies at Oberlin College.
During this livestreamed program, we will play the early access game The Legend of Khiimori which is set in 13th century Mongolia. Audience participation is welcome and encouraged!
Humanities at Play explores and showcases the significance of the humanities in everyday life through games, media, and popular culture. Join us for dynamic and interactive online and in-person events designed to spark thoughtful conversation and reflection. Learn more at nevadahumanities.org/humanities-at-play.
