Gep-ed Colleagues: Back in February, Paul Steinberg sent us all the email below, which includes a link to his short film about the roles of social rules in our lives and important roles of rule changers. Probably because I am a crap friend & colleague, I waited until today to watched it while looking for things to use in class this summer and fall. I think the animated film is fantastic! I can't wait to use it in class.
So if you have not yet taken the very few minutes to watch, I encourage you to do so. It's going on my syllabus now. --Stacy Stacy D.

This game was created by a dozen student programmers and artists under my direction over a three year period. This is a role-player game in which the player returns to his/her village in Central America and must figure out what is causing the destruction of local forests. It focuses substantively on common-pool resource regimes, state-society relations, and multilevel governance. Play time is approximately one hour. See the "play the game" link at rulechangers.org<http://rulechangers.org> We hope you enjoy it! Paul -- Paul F.
