Grant Summary
$25,000 over 12 months to assist with the creation of a sustainable business model for Reacting to the Past, an innovative, award-winning curriculum in which students participate in role-playing games set in historical periods of great importance. Founded in 1997 by Mark Carnes, Professor of History at Barnard College, over 300 institutions of various types - liberal arts colleges, urban commuter schools, community colleges, public universities, and more - are using the program. To help create a sustainable business model for Reacting to the Past, this grant will support the costs of a part-time graduate intern to work with Reacting project staff and also support the development of videos to best showcase the curriculum.
