    Join us for our free Faculty Lounge Live Happy Hour!

    These casual zoom social hours offer opportunities to talk with other active pedagogy (and active pedagogy curious) instructors. Depending on attendee interest, we sometimes organize breakout rooms by Reacting game, how you're teaching, or game design. Newbies can ask questions of experienced Reacting professors. You can also just schmooze (or vent!) with friends.

    2024 WINTER CONFERENCE

    The 8th Annual Reacting Winter Conference, hosted by the University of Georgia Reacting to the Past Program, will be held remotely January 12-14, 2023 on zoom

    Our focus this year is active learning: both the efficacy of Reacting as an active learning practice par excellence, and how we can borrow strategies from Reacting to keep our classrooms in that active mode, even when not using Reacting games. The heart of the conference is the game workshop, where instructors learn about the Reacting pedagogy by experiencing it in condensed, abbreviated gameplay. The game workshop also provides context and guidance on using Reacting in your classroom. Check out the conference page for full details.

    Save the date and share the date for our Annual Institute: Thursday, June 6 - Sunday, June 9 we'll gather again on the campus of Barnard College for the biggest and best Reacting conference of the year!

    We're currently narrowing down our list of games from 15 to nine, but expect a mix of old and new titles, and a focus on climate and enviromental content.

    We're also working on our budget, and hope to keep our registration rates as close to last year's-- which started at $550 for RC members--as expenses allow. As we nail down details, we'll add them to this page, and we plan to open registration in February.
