Comics and graphic novels are no longer solely the domain of magical men in capes! In fact, many graphic memoirs use the medium of sequential words and pictures to tell stories which are deeply personal, yet very familiar.
When the pandemic forced community college English professor Adam Bessie’s classes online, he struggled to support his most vulnerable students while coping with the limitations of virtual education. At the same time, he faced a health crisis of his own. In “Going Remote: A Teacher’s Journey,” Bessie eloquently chronicles this time in his life, alongside witty and evocative drawings by Perter Glanting.
By discussing the text and engaging with the format to excavate our own pandemic experiences, we will co-create a space to process this strange time in our professional lives and its ongoing impact. In our final session, the author Adam Bessie will join our group for a Q&A.
