WNST 3300 Gender, Race, and the Graphic Novel

4 semester hours

This course explores how the space of the graphic novel can serve as a cultural space for critical engagement with ideologies of race, gender, nation, class, and sexuality. Discourses on “otherness” can also be critically re-imagined in the space of the graphic novel. We will critically examine the visual language that is presented in the graphic novel and the ways it can challenge iconographic images of ethnic and gendered representation.
