Learning and Healing Through Comics
Comic art tells a story, makes a point, evokes laughter, or does all three at once. But like media writ large, comics has historically centered white, male lives and concurrently has objectified and vilified the lives of marginalized and minoritized people. I propose comics can be a radical praxis for learning and healing and describe how comics provides an accessible way to visually represent and honor marginalized and minoritized youth and families by amplifying voices and stories that are often ignored, made invisible, and trivialized. In this way, comics can be used to educate, spark conversations, challenge dominant narratives, and normalize and validate diverse life experiences. I reference The Other Ones by Lee, a daily comic that I co-create with my artist brother, to illustrate how psychology and specifically diversity science can be brought to life in comics to promote racial literacy and embody radical healing.
