Flyer for Science Fiction & Games in the Classroom with Stephanie Kinzinger. This workshop is part of the Critical Game Studies Initiative's Plug and Play Series that aims to equip instructors with short assignments that can be easily incorporated into their classes. Following Dr. Katherine Buse’s presentation two weeks ago, “Playing with the Climate: Situatedness and Immerselessness in Environmental Video Games,” we will play Outer Wilds by Mobius Digital (2019) and engage concepts of critical play and pedagogy to develop an understanding of environmental simulation, entanglements of space-time and the self, and the logics of meaning-making through exploration.
