Greenwich Village, 1913
WW Norton & Co (Verlag)
978-0-393-53301-9 (ISBN)
In this popular Reacting to the Past game, the classroom is transformed into Greenwich Village in 1913, where rebellious “free spirits” gather. Exposed to ideas like woman suffrage, socialism, birth control and anarchism, students experiment with forms of political participation and bohemian self-discovery. The Second Edition reflects recent scholarly findings on African-American and working-class suffragists, including new sources and characters, as well as improved support for students to read primary texts.
Reacting to the Past is an award-winning series of immersive role-playing games that actively engage students in their own learning. Students assume the roles of historical characters to practise critical thinking, primary source analysis, and both written and spoken argument. Adopted by thousands of instructors at all types of institutions, Reacting to the Past games are flexible enough to be used across the curriculum, from first-year general education classes and discussion sections of lecture classes to capstone experiences and honours programs.
Mary Jane Treacy is professor emerita of modern languages and literatures at Simmons College, where she was also director of the honors program. She has been involved with the Reacting to the Past pedagogy since 2005, when she played a minor spy in the court of Henry VIII and then set out to write Greenwich Village, 1913, for her course in the roots of feminism. She has taught Greenwich Village in both women’s and gender studies courses and first-year seminars. She is also author of a new Flashpoints game on a labor strike in Paterson, NJ, and a new game on the aftermath of political violence in Argentina (Argentina, 1985: Contested Memories). A member of the Editorial Board, she has the privilege of reading and play-testing new games that take her to all eras and parts of the world.
