<p class="MsoNormal">Graphic Possibilities is a research workshop in the Department of English at Michigan State University. This research workshop engages with comics through two interrelated branches, critical inquiry and engaged pedagogy, as a means of bringing
together faculty and graduate students with current and burgeoning interests in comic studies. Critical inquiry manifests in any number of ways through comics, including treating comics as data, comics as scholarship, and comics as critical-making, what Stacey
Robinson and John Jennings term to be a methodological approach that insists scholars engage with broader critical and cultural conversations through the act of making comics. Alongside of this, we explore how scholar-practitioners can make pedagogical interventions
about/through the comics medium in an effort to develop new strategies for teaching and working with comics pedagogically.
<b>As part of the 50 States of Comics, the focus is now on Ohio! In this workshop, we will work with titles published in Ohio as we update Wikidata entries linked to the Comic Art Collection! This event will build on our previous Wikidata-edit-a-thons, in which
participants edited and updated entries linked to the Comic Art Collection. If you love comics and want to share information about them with the world, this workshop is for you. We get to evaluate the existing information in Wikidata, add more, and match up
information in library catalog records. If you’re new to Wikidata, there are some training materials provided on the event website. It’s all in good fun but you also get to learn.<o:p></o:p></b></p>
