Reacting to the Past (RTTP)

Reacting to the Past (RTTP) consists of elaborate games, set in the past, in which students are assigned roles informed by classic texts in the history of ideas. Class sessions are run entirely by students; instructors advise and guide students and grade their oral and written work. It seeks to draw students into the past, promote engagement with big ideas, and improve intellectual and academic skills. Reacting to the Past was honored with the 2004 Theodore Hesburgh Award (TIAA-CREF) for outstanding innovation in higher education.
In Spring of 2017, Lehigh became a member of the RTTP Consortium, which gives faculty and staff access to the game library.
If you would like access to the game library, visit the RTTP Consortium website and create an account.
