Seminar at the University of Copenhagen by Jenny Cromwell
Friday 7th November 2025, 1.30pm

At this seminar, MGC member Jenny Cromwell will discuss the work undertaken on her third-year undergraduate module, ‘Gaming and the Humanities’, which is open to all students in the School of History, Politics, and Philosophy at MMU. Specific focus will be on the use of games to think about and explore diverse topics, around which concept the module assessment is designed (to pitch a game idea based on an individually selected research topic, and provide the academic foundation behind the game). The talk will end with a discussion about how this pedagogic practice has impacted her approach to her own research, and game design as a creative research method.
