Meet at Programme Room 1, Yale-NUS Library
Join us for an interactive tabletop role-playing game (TTRPG) experience that dives into the world of gender metaphysics.
Through dynamic storytelling and character creation, we will navigate complex questions about the nature of gender, identity, and societal constructs. Set in a dynamic, fictional world, this session provides a space to navigate fluid identities and social power dynamics, reflecting on how metaphysical ideas of gender manifest in different ways.
Whether you’re a seasoned player or completely new to TTRPGs, this workshop offers a creative, hands-on way to engage with philosophical questions about gender and existence.
Limited slots available. Email Dr. Sherice Ngaserin at sherice@yale-nus.edu.sg to enquire.
