Humanities at Play explores and showcases the significance of the humanities in everyday life through games, media, and popular culture.
Join us for dynamic and interactive online and in-person events designed to spark thoughtful conversation and reflection. You can find our stream schedule and learn more about upcoming events and experts below.
Throughout 2023 - 2024, Nevada Humanities is producing a series of select Humanities at Play programming that is part of United We Stand: Connecting Through Culture. As part of this initiative, we partnered with writer and narrative designer Ashley Warren (Storytelling Collective) to create Loreloop: The World We Live In, The World We Create. This original game and collection of interactive short stories lets participants immerse themselves in complex themes and topics related to the joys and hardships of the Nevada experience. We hope the stories that people create and encounter as a part of this collaborative storytelling experience inspire participants to play an active role in addressing inequality and injustice in our communities and designing a more inclusive future.
Learn more about upcoming United We Stand programming and featured guests on our Twitch channel below, in addition to viewing an archive of past live-streamed events.
