Playing the Hidden Curriculum

This project develops a toolbox to help unpack, expose, materialize, and (where needed) challenge the hidden curriculum (HC). This exposition and challenging of the HC will foster education that no longer disadvantages students for their lacking familiarity with prevalent university norms and formalizes socialization processes that have thus far remained mostly implicit.
The project departs from the innovative proposition that conceptualizing the HC as a game (or playful exercise) invites its players to bring their personal lives into the learning activity and materializes its socio-cultural norms as explicit and negotiable rules.
