Comics and historiography: The process, image, text, story, and time

Racial Reckoning Through Comics: A Mellon Sawyer Seminar

Rachel Williams (UNC School of The Arts, North Carolina): "Comics and historiography: The process, image, text, story, and time". Introduced by Nicole Amato (University of Iowa)

Co-sponsored by The Mellon Foundation, Iowa City Public Library, the Obermann Center for Advanced Studies, and FilmScene.

To continue our year-long Mellon Sawyer Seminar devoted to “Racial Reckoning Through Comics,” we turn to critical and creative approaches to representing historical as well as potential futures of racial trauma, testimony, possibility, and expanded narrative. How have comics neglected as well as addressed racialized histories or imagined racialized futures?
