“We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” -George Bernard Shaw. In episode nine, the ALFA Relations team is joined by Concordia professor and play expert, Steven Henle. He defines what play is, the importance of play in adults, and how playfulness leads to relationship satisfaction. In addition, he discusses how to play amidst the pandemic, teaching in a virtual world compared to in-person and the future of teaching. So ALFAs, how will you continue to play as you grow older?
