Join Nevada Humanities Program Manager Kathleen Kuo in conversation with writer, educator, and cultural worker KB Brookins on Tuesday, March 3, 2026, from 6:00 to 8:00 pm PT for a livestreamed Humanities at Play program. During the first half of this program, we will engage in a song and sound association activity before transitioning to an interview and conversation to learn more about Brookins’ work and writing, as well as their time as a Shearing Fellow at Black Mountain Institute (UNLV).

Humanities at Play explores and showcases the significance of the humanities in everyday life through games, media, and popular culture.
