Offered periodically within a 3-year academic cycle This course will explore graphic novels to illustrate how sequential art and text tell stories and as a result make arguments about identity and social structures that should be accepted, furthered, or challenged. How these multimodal texts go about combining images and texts to tell stories or make arguments is varied, meaningful, and complex, and for those reasons, graphic novels are worthy of scholarly attention and engagement. Students will then create their own graphic narrative. 488 / 615
