The Comics Grid Webinar: Do I have to draw a picture? Reframing comics scholarship
When:
—
Venue:
Online
Join us for a Comics Grid webinar on Graphic Scholarship, a conversation about comics as a form of thinking, researching, and communicating knowledge. Starting from the perspective of the journal’s changing editorial guidelines for its Graphic Scholarship collection, the discussion will look back at major developments in the field over the past decade while also taking a longer historical view of comics used for and with research. The webinar will explore questions of form, readership, experimentation, assessment and editorial constraints, accessibility, and legitimacy, asking what graphic scholarship has become, and where it might go next.
