"Comics and Multimodal Anthropology" with Dr. Sherine Farouk Hamdy 

Professor, Anthropology | UC Irvine

In this talk, Sherine Hamdy will discuss how and why comics lend themselves to ethnographic research and analysis. Drawing on her own collaboration with artists, and on the work of feminist comics artists from the Arab world, the talk will consider the affordances of comics as a medium and what it brings more generally to both visual and medical anthropology.
