Cartoonist, author, and educator Will Eisner coined the term “sequential
art” in 1985. In his book, *Comics & Sequential Art*
<https://wwnorton.com/books/9780393331264>, he explained that comics were,
“an ‘art of communication’ more than simply an application of art.” For
academics, there is no skill more important than that of communication. As
thinkers and educators, our ability to cast our ideas out into the world
helps us to refine and improve our thinking, and to impact audiences.

Join the UCI Humanities Center
<https://www.humanities.uci.edu/humanitiescenter/>, in collaboration with
*UCLA* and the UC Riverside Center for Ideas and Society
<https://ideasandsociety.ucr.edu/>, as we present a workshop focused on
comics and graphic novels as vehicles for communicating academic research.
This workshop will feature a panel of academics, writers, educators, and
publishers.

*Speakers include:*


   - *Ari Kelman*, Chancellor’s Leadership Professor of History, Interim
   Dean of the College of Letters & Science, UC Davis
   - *Charles Walker*, Professor of History, Director of the Hemispheric
   Institute on the Americas, UC Davis
   - *Nalo Hopkinson*, Professor, Creative Writing, UC Riverside
   - *Danny Snelson*, Assistant Professor of English, UCLA
   - *Charles Cavaliere*, Executive Editor, Graphic History Series, Oxford
   University Press
   - *Carli Hansen*, Editor, ethnoGRAPHIC Series, University of Toronto
   Press

*This workshop is presented in partnership with UCLA and the UC Riverside
Center for Ideas and Society*
