Joining us from the Nevada Arts Council, folklorist Brad McMullen will share insights into his work with folklife around Nevada and more during this Humanities at Play stream. We’ll spend the first hour of our program playing through the visual novel Coffee Talk before switching to an interactive Q&A and conversation during the second hour. Audience participation is welcome and encouraged!
