Dr. Max Haiven, Canada Research Chair in the Radical Imagination, will present two aspects of his ongoing research and public outreach program on Thursday, September 11, from 3-5pm at The Study on Lakehead University’s Thunder Bay campus .
From 3-4pm, Haiven will present an overview of his next book (under contract with MIT Press) The Player and the Played: From Gamified Capitalism to 21st Century Fascism.
From 4-5pm, Haiven will present (and there will be an opportunity to play) Billionaires & Guillotines, a satirical board game about the consequences of wealth inequality and plutocracy.
Everyone is welcome to either or both events, which are casual. Light refreshments will be served.
