NEH Summer Institute at SDSU Helps K-12 Teachers Use Comics to Teach Social Justice

“Using Comics to Teach Social Justice” was a professional development program, funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, that brought 25 K-12 teachers from across the country to San Diego State University for two weeks in July 2024.

The program goal was to transform teaching of timely and challenging social issues by incorporating comics and graphic novels into the teachers’ curricula and lesson plans.

SDSU Center for Comics Studies co-directors Beth Pollard and Pamela Jackson developed a vibrant comics curriculum addressing social justice themes for teachers to take back to their own classrooms in hopes of creating profound impacts.
