Students turn back the clock at Vintage Board Game Night
Students spent Monday evening at Cherry Hall learning about gender roles and societal norms of the 1950s through the 1990s through the lens of vintage board games
Hosted by The History Club and History 498: Senior Seminar, Vintage Board Game Night allowed students to step into the shoes of children throughout America’s past. Societal norms marketed to children of the past through the games allowed students to understand the society of today
Professor Jennifer Hanley, who teaches the senior seminar, said she likes to find unique ways to teach history
