Playposium FAQ
What is a Playposium?
The Professors at Play Playposium is an online networking, sharing and learning event all about play in higher education. Structured like many academic conferences, with a call for proposals and a day of presentations and activities. the Playposium is a little different. We encourage risk taking, joy, experimentation, and play!
How are we going to make higher ed a more playful place if we, as a collection of academics, can’t get together and have a little fun?
