Special Issue 11.1: Comics and Education

Articles are invited for a special issue of Studies in Comics (11.1) on the theme of Comics and Education. Comics have enjoyed a resurgence in the classroom as educators, creators, and scholars have come to recognise the diverse ways in which the medium can be used to support literacy, communication skills, and creativity. Significantly, the use of comics for and as education also promotes cross-medial learning, as readers may use the form as a starting point for further reading, but also to enhance and supplement other pedagogical materials. As Syma and Weiner argue, “it is no longer a question of whether sequential art should be used in educational settings, but rather how to use it and for what purpose” (2013, 1). Comics present an immersive, engaging, and memorable tool for communication because they require the reader to actively participate in the meaning-making process by utilising verbal, visual, spatial, and gestural modes of understanding among others (Bakis 2008). Indeed, comics can help readers of all ages understand complex ideas through these means and allow teachers and learners to explore, stimulate, and enhance educational outcomes.

In recognition of the foregoing, we invite papers that focus on one or more of the following topics, although the list is not exhaustive:

  • Case studies of education comics/comics as education
  • Teaching and learning with published comics
  • Teaching and learning by creating comics
  • Comics and literacy
  • Public information comics
  • Comics as pedagogy
  • Comics and embodied learning
  • Comics and emotional development
  • Comics and learner-based outcomes
  • Comics and adult education
  • The educational mission of networks like Graphic Medicine and Graphic Justice
