Chasing New Worlds: Stories of Roleplaying in Classroom Spaces

Journal of Language and Literacy Education, v17 n1 Spr 2021
We explore our experiences with roleplaying games across learning environments, chasing communal questions such as: how can teachers engage with the possibilities of roleplaying in classroom spaces, and how can we leverage such practices to open up spaces for youth to bodily experience texts, express identities, and imagine new worlds? This article explores roleplaying across contexts--in school, after school, in teacher education, and in K-12 settings. The authors reflect on our experiences using humanizing methods to critically investigate roleplaying with youth.
