This week, students played Go Theory in my graduate seminar on anthropological theory. The game is based on the Dutch game Kwartet, which is a more complex version of Go Fish. The suits of cards cover different dimensions of theory, research, and explanation and we used the cards to explore the work of Pete Vayda and colleagues. The second part of the class, students used the same deck of cards in a pile-sort in which they examined how different theoretical frameworks are logically shape research strategies.
