Reading Graphic Novels Through Critical Lenses to Recognize Power Imbalances and Discrimination

Activity provided by Alison Holloway

The overarching concept that guides this unit is “who is on the inside, and who is on the outside?” Students will explore stereotypes, media portrayals, biases, privilege, intersectionality, and race/gender/ability as a social construction. Two essential questions that inform this unit are: 1) What is discrimination? and 2) How does discrimination persist in contemporary society?
