Open to all, including kids and babies of course!
- ✩COMICS IN THE CLASSROOM (Sunday 2:00-3:00 pm)✩
Nalo Hopkinson (UC Riverside Professor, Sandman Universe: House of Whispers) and Rachelle Cruz (UC Riverside Lecturer, Experiencing Comics) discuss their various teaching experiences and strategies for using comics in interdisciplinary classrooms, from creative writing lectures, to courses on children's and young adult literature. They will also talk about centering and prioritizing stories by women, creators of colour and queer creators in their classes and give recommendations of comics titles and exercises that have been especially engaging for their students.
- ✩FITNESS FOR ARTISTS (Sunday 3:00-4:00 pm)✩
