About this Event
Is it possible to translate text-based literature reviews into comics? In short, yes! In this workshop, you will draw, write, and make comics to access a more picture-based approach to creating literature reviews. All participants will produce a take-home kit to further their budding making-comics-for-research practice. Lunch is also included.
Open to faculty and graduate students. Seating is limited and registration is required. No drawing experience necessary!
Sponsored by the McCausland Visiting Scholar Program in the College of Arts & Sciences at the University of South Carolina.
