Graphic Scholarship
What is graphic scholarship?
We define graphic scholarship as any scholarly communications in the form of comics or cartoons. Broadly speaking, adaptations of works of science and medicine, the social sciences, arts and humanities, biography, or history can be considered part of graphic scholarship so long as comics and cartooning are used to tell a scholarly or educational narrative.
