Joining us from the Nevada Arts Council, Stephanie Montgomery will share insights into her research and work with East Asian and Chinese history, public history, grants and projects around Nevada, and more during this Humanities at Play stream. We’ll spend the first hour of our program playing through the game Minami Lane before switching to an interactive Q&A and conversation during the second hour. Audience participation is welcome and encouraged!
