This program is supported by Nevada Humanities’ generous donors and Michael Chin, who is generously donating his time.
Join Nevada Humanities on Thursday, July 24, 2025, from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm PT for a Humanities at Play live stream event with author and professor Michael Chin. During the first hour of our live stream, we will play narrative game The Yawhg. The second hour of our program will consist of an interactive Q&A and interview where we will learn more about Chin’s writing and work.
