COURSES – SPRING 2026 / Interdisciplinary / POWER OF PLAY
Coordinators: Carole Blane, Candy Johnson, Joe Aboulafia
Power of Play invites participants to examine play as a vital component of human experience.
While play is often associated with childhood, this course explores its relevance for adults. Through a combination of lecture, discussion and fun, hands-on play activities, participants will investigate questions such as: What is play? Why do we play? How can play enhance personal and collective growth?
