This collection sets out the stakes, definitions, and exemplars of contemporary comics pedagogy. From K-12 contexts to higher ed instruction to ongoing communities of scholars working outside of the academy, comics pedagogy is at the heart of the work of today’s “aca-fans.” Building off of the interdisciplinary interests and approaches to teaching comics and teaching with comics, this volume brings together diverse voices to share key theories and scholarship on comics pedagogy. By bringing together scholars, creators, and educators across various fields and in K-12 as well as university settings, this volume significantly expands scholarship on comics pedagogy.Less

Dale Jacobs examines the vexed relationships educators have had with comics, with some suggesting that comics are distractions seen as antithetical to both literacy and morality, while others posit graphic narratives as a site on which alphabetic literacy might be scaffolded. These parallel developments of comics pedagogy have left us with two distinct ways of thinking about teaching with comics that seldom overlap, and this chapter reconciles these approaches within a larger framework that advocates for a diverse set of methodologies in the teaching of comics.Less
