Description

Comics and Data: odd couple, or dynamic duo? Join Dr. Emmy Waldman (English, Virginia Tech) and Professor Anna Feigenbaum (Bournemouth University) to explore how comics can draw (on) data to help us communicate evidence-based information accurately, accessibly, and empathically across diverse populations. Come to one or both sessions. Participants will learn the fundamentals of data storytelling and try their hand at producing a data-informed comic of their own. Work produced in the workshop will be displayed in a special exhibition at Newman Library.
