During the 2010-2011 school year the Outreach Center at the Center for Middle Eastern Studies explored how the medium of comic arts and “graphic novels” can be used to teach and learn about the Middle East and Muslim communities. Anyone writing today about uses of comics in the classroom does not have to spend much time defending this medium as a valid form of art or an important pedagogical tool; thankfully, many creative minds have done this work already.
This introduction will focus on works and strategies of particular relevance to ME studies, including suggested uses of resources in The Outreach Center's lending library.
Highlighting the unique features of "sequential art" to combine visual, text-based, and cultural literacies, these workshops and events approached the subject from a variety of perspectives, ranging from exploring depictions of Muslim identity in superhero comics to grassroots comic collectives in Cairo and Beirut. We are developing a curriculum catalog of these materials.
