Description

This book honors the legacy of Dr. Brian Sutton-Smith, Professor Emeritus of Psychology and Folklore at the University of Pennsylvania.

Dr. Sutton-Smith was considered the premier play scholar of his generation, with numerous publications in the fields of developmental psychology, folklore, anthropology, sociology of sport, education, and philosophy.

We present an eclectic array of essays written in honor of the centennial of his birth, ranging from the scholarly to the overtly playful.

There are essays distilling his work to their key ideas and some that offer a robust and respectful critique.

There are personal anecdotes honoring his memory, and original works of fiction celebrating his legacy.

The book is a joint publication between the International Journal of Play and the TASP biannual Play and Culture Studies and includes photographs of Brian Sutton-Smith, as well as heartfelt appreciation from scores of colleagues.
