In our introductory Graphic Scholarship workshop, we’ll explore the language of comics and sequential art, and how the blending of image and word can be used to tell a story in a way neither can do on its own. And through drawing exercises, we will begin to unlock the cartoonist within each of us.

This is the first in a series of three Graphic Scholarship workshops. No previous knowledge or experience is required for any of these workshops. Registration is open to all for a single workshop or for all three in the series, but registration is highly recommended for all three sessions!

REGISTRATION CLOSES: July 7th at 12pm.

The Zoom link for the workshop will be emailed the day before the event (July 7th).

What is graphic scholarship?

We define “graphic scholarship” as any scholarly communications in the form of comics or cartoons. Broadly speaking, adaptations of works of science and medicine, the social sciences, arts and humanities, biography, or history can be considered part of graphic scholarship, so long as comics and cartooning are used to tell a scholarly or educational narrative.

About the Graphic Scholarship Collection

The OU-Tulsa Schusterman Library has developed a new resource for the University community, the Graphic Scholarship Collection, a world-class curated selection of graphic works of nonfiction and literature, which we will use to teach others about the power of comics as a tool of diversity and education.
