Political Cartoons and Visual Satire: Interdisciplinary Perspectives
Tea, coffee, and cake provided!
Please join CVAC for this Roundtable discussion of cartoons and other graphic arts in political contexts, across times and cultures. How does the visual intersect with histories of resistance, rights, and social critique? What role does humour play in advancing anti-colonial and other political movements? And what methodologies have researchers found helpful when approaching cartoons, graphic novels, or visual satire?

All welcome. We look forward to you joining us on 13th March!
