Long Description:
Frank Herbert’s Dune is an intricate exploration of power, institutional fragility, and the consequences of unchecked political ambition. Participants step into the roles of key factions within Dune, navigating the same dilemmas of negotiation, compromise, and survival that define the novel’s political landscape.
Dr. Geoffrey West is a lecturer in the Humanities at the University of California San Diego. His research on political power and military service is intimately connected to the themes of texts like Dune.
This session is designed for educators and librarians interested in innovative approaches to teaching literature, history, and political philosophy. No prior experience with the Dune board game is necessary—just an openness to new pedagogical methods and an interest in interactive, student-centered learning.
