SOC 092 PZ -The Social World, Graphically


Institution: Pitzer

Description: This interdisciplinary course will use graphic novels as vehicles for exploring various aspects of the social world: social issues, conflicts, identities, movements, etc. Students will read graphic novels that focus on various aspects of contemporary social life, and they will also write/draw/create their own graphic novel pages which explore some social issue, movement, conflict, pattern, etc. Part sociology, part art, this course will look at how graphic novels can inform us about issues of social significance, how they function visually and aesthetically, how they both engage and entertain, and how they can be an effective form of artistic expression, social commentary, historical accounting, and political critique.

Cross-listing: Art
