Here at the end of the term,
I’m standing in my office
Before my bookshelves,
And there in disarray
Are the soldiers of learning.
Fallen among fellow warriors
And foreign company,
Scarred and bent,
They await transport
Back to the comfort
Of sliding home
Between their dusty
Companions at last.
-Laurence Musgrove

AEPL Conference 2010
Visual Thinking, Teaching, and Learning
Assembly for Expanded Perspectives on Learning
Annual Conference & Three-Day Retreat:
June 17–20, 2010
YMCA of the Rockies—Estes Park, Colorado
FEATURED SPEAKERS Louann Reid & Austin Kleon
Imagination and Representation in Graphic Narratives
Graphic narratives, increasingly popular in and out of school, are garnering both scholarly and pedagogical attention. These visual texts move readers imaginatively into what Maxine Greene calls “illusioned worlds,” and simultaneously make them conscious of the constructed nature of those worlds through panels, speech balloons, and other visual tools. We will explore productive tensions between imagination and representation in graphic narratives with two goals: to expand our thinking about these concepts in literary studies and aesthetic education and to consider the potential value and limitations of graphic narratives as texts for teaching visual thinking.
