What I'm doing next...
July 24, 2024 - presentation at Gwynedd Mercy University to graduate level education students on cultural humility through comics/pop culture
Come join co-authors Justin Eisinger, Steven Scott, and I as we discuss George Takei’s powerful graphic memoir, They Called US Enemy. I have used this boon in my own classroom and we will chat about its importance in our shared history and connections to current AAPI race issues. We cannot move forward without first acknowledging the past. This will be livestreamed on the Teaching With Comics Facebook page.

Title: Teaching History Through Comics
Description: From the ancient world to the modern day, graphic novels pull readers into history.

Educators and comics creators share their best practices and favorite titles for using comics and graphic novels for teaching history and social studies.
