College faculty and administrators are invited to register for the
thirteenth annual Reacting to the Past Institute hosted by Barnard
College (NY), June 6-9, 2013.

Reacting to the Past consists of elaborate games, set in the past, in
which students are assigned roles with 'victory objectives' informed
by seminal texts in the history of ideas. RTTP was honored with the
2004 Theodore Hesburgh Award (funded by TIAA-CREF) as the nation’s
outstanding pedagogical innovation in undergraduate teaching and
learning. It has been featured in the Chronicle of Higher Education,
New York Times, and elsewhere.

The summer institute is intended for college and university
presidents, administrators, and professors

Participants will learn about this innovative pedagogical approach by
engaging in intensive two-day game workshops. Offerings include:

- Theology of the Icon: Byzantine Iconoclasm
- Modernism versus Traditionalism: Art in Paris, 1888-89
- Making a Motion Picture Production Code, 1930

The institute program also includes a series of concurrent sessions
where faculty participants engage in discussions about active-learning
pedagogy, course development, and liberal arts education more
generally. For further information, visit
