Comics

Thanks to Stephen Schwab for the tipoff to Why Comics?

Why Comics? is based at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), University of London where we are working with the University to humanise academic research to a wide audience.
Why Comics? embeds ethnographic comics and animations with a wealth of contextual multimedia devices (such as news articles, maps, videos, documentaries, social media streams, statistics, infographics and reports) to educate, inspire and engage pupils across a wide demographic.
Why Comics? encourages critical and reflective thinking on vital global themes, whilst encouraging learners to make connections between their own lives and lives of others throughout the world thereby helping tackleracismand intolerance in schools.

There is a range of comics which tackle issues such as migration and asylum seeking, and have associated teaching materials. Some of them were in 'The Guardian' a few years ago.
I'm thinking of using one or two of these in the new year.
