There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

In this workshop, Dr. Buell and Dr. Cooley will share their insights regarding scholarly and pedagogical potential for serious gaming in the humanities, as well as provide an account of the bureaucratic, logistical, and cultural issues they confronted during the course of their interdisciplinary effort. They will propose for discussion a concept of “critical interactive” that seeks to move beyond “gaming” in order to underscore what’s at stake in presenting humanities-oriented inquiry and assertion via a digital participatory process.
