The honorable Justice Sandra Day O’Conner just gave the keynote address at this year’s Games for Change Festival at the New School. Justice O’Conner announces that she is spearheading the launch of a new interactive website called "Our Courts" that will help educate young people about the judicial system in the United States. The project is being guided by the always impressive James Paul Gee, which assures me that it will be implemented in a way that best integrates youth interests, concerns and motivations.
Justice O’Conner notes that by next September the fundamental aspects of "Our Courts" will be available on the website.
I am uploading video of her talk now, which hopefully will be available soon at this link.
Sandra Dee O’Conner? The typo is quite amusing – The Honorable Sandra Day O’Conner as Gidget.
hey, i was at the g4c conference too. wish i had met you there. just saw your o’conner post. it was my first time at the conference and have to day that i was disappointed to see that so many games focus on individual behavior and actions rather than looking at structural causes of inequality. mostly a lefty ‘lite’ perspective i think. i’d be interested to hear if you think that games might be a good place for addressing structural inequality.
Sorry I missed you at the conference. What kind of subjects do you wish were addressed more? It seems like a pretty broad set of issues, from food safety to the electoral system to 9/11 responses.
