Stupor Mundi is the name of a developing curriculum for the Reacting to the Past framework which allows students to explore the cultural and legal systems of the Kingdom of Jerusalem in 1228-1229 following the arrival of Emperor Frederick II to the Crusader States. CODEX students are currently revising, editing, and updating the course materials to prepare the game for future rounds of testing and feedback beyond Smith College at other institutions around the United States.
Please consider checking out our Stupor Mundi, Collaborations presentation for Smith College’s research show, Collaborations, from 2021-2022!
