[Comicsstudiessociety] CFP: Collected edition - Research on Teaching with Comics

[Robert Aman]

Dear all,

Please see the CfP below (and attached with more details). Please share, and we look forward to many interesting contributions!

Call for papers – Edited Collection on Comics and Education

Comics are a staple of popular culture around the world, and research on comics as tools for education shows the possibilities that comics offer educators. Yet the research on the use of comics in primary and secondary education is still scarce. Therefore, we are collecting suggestions for chapters for an edited collection that addresses the need for scholarly work on comics as a tool for educational practice. This collection addresses an audience of primary and secondary school teachers, librarians, parents, preservice teachers, teacher educators, and others. Chapters could include literary analysis of comics’ potential for teaching, as well as studies of classroom activities and teacher/student experiences. Possible subjects include, but are not limited to:

  *   The use of comics in teaching various school subjects: History, Mathematics, Geography etc.
  *   Perspectives on curriculum and syllabus.
  *   Using comics for inclusive education.
  *   Cross-curricular/Interdisciplinary school work with comics.

For any questions on a particular topic for the collection, please do not hesitate to contact the editors.

Guidelines and Deadlines
Abstracts submitted for consideration are due by October 31, 2020. They should be 250-300 words in length and include a tentative title and brief bio of the contributor(s). Please send your submissions simultaneously to both editors Robert Aman (robert.aman at liu.se<mailto:robert.aman at liu.se>) and Lars Wallner (lars.wallner at liu.se<mailto:lars.wallner at liu.se>). Selections will be made, and notifications emailed by November 15, 2020. The book proposal will be sent to prospective publishers by December 1, 2020.
