Description

This course provides an introduction to comics as a medium for scientific and cultural research and dissemination. Thanks to its multimodality and narrative power, the medium can visually convey certain concepts effectively and fluidly.

Students will then create a short comic based on their doctoral research, either by drawing or using available online tools.
