Teaching with The Social Justice Game
The Social Justice Game is an educational board game that helps players/students experience systemic inequity in an embodied way. A parody of Monopoly™, it forces players to pit their own expectations of ‘fairness’ against the economic pressures they experience in the game. Unlike Monopoly, which assumes a level socioeconomic field, The Social Justice Game more closely reflects actual inequities under the current American economy.
