Project Summary:
My monograph focuses on graphic narratives for and about children and youth, from diverse cultural and ethnic backgrounds, varied regions of the world, wide-ranging gender identities and levels of ability. All of the graphic texts that this project analyzes feature particular predicaments and challenges experienced by young people that can deepen young readers' sociopolitical understanding of the world and move them towards an awareness of social justice.
Project Description:
The graphic texts that I have selected for this study remind readers that young people are political, and that they are capable of agency and power—even and especially in relation to adversity. These texts are designed to help readers understand themselves as they react to, and sometimes resist, worldly pressures.
