Abstract
This study group’s purpose is to share empirical research that flesh out theoretical and methodological approaches of texts that combine words with images, with the ultimate goal of supporting researchers/educators of all experience levels in developing work on graphic novels in literacy education. We will also be discussing representations of race, class, language, culture, (dis)ability, and gender/sex/uality in graphic novels and comics, features that make them appeal to a wide variety of readers.
