Description

After years of disseminating his research findings by standard means (professional conferences, public outreach workshops, etc), Georgia Southern Geographer Dr. John Van Stan began to look for more efficient ways to connect his work to public interest. This link was found in sequential art.

Zach S. Henderson is pleased to host Dr. Van Stan as he highlights the collaborative effort between a Forest Scientist and a Graphic Illustrator. Details of the step by step process, difficulties, rewards, and lessons learned will be brought to life with beautiful graphics.

This program is for anyone with an interest in art, science, story-telling, comics, graphic novels, teaching with graphics, and collaboration across disciplines. Zach S. Henderson Library will provide light snacks and attendance verification to all participants, and also hold a drawing for copies of Van Stan’s printed Graphic Novel.
