Description

Why have podcasts and audiobooks become so popular in recent years? Why are so many sociologists and anthropologists now designing and making graphic novels, zines, comics and audio programming as part of their research? How can we think critically and creatively about why academic experts and non-experts alike are making, and using comics, zines, audio programs, and graphic novels to tell more engaging and accessible stories about the world we live in? In this course we will explore these questions and issues through “doing” i.e. students will create and use different types of alternative media- comics, photos, audio, and zines – to creatively and critically tell social scientific stories about the world they live in.
