SANE journal publishes first issue (full of resources on teaching comics)

[James Bucky Carter]

I thought I posted this yesterday, but I'll try again:

SANE journal: sequential art narrative in education has published its first issue, "Comics in the Contact Zone." The journal is online, free, open-access and offers articles, reviews, rationales and more resources regarding teaching comics at any level of education, with a focus on literacy.

 

Visit the journal at http://www.sanejournal.net

 

As well, we're still taking submission for the second issue, themed "Teaching the Works of Alan Moore."

 

Best,

James Bucky Carter,

Editor an Founder

You did post yesterday, but there's been a lot of activity on the discussion board and it is quite a way down the list by now. I checked out the contents, and it looks great! Well done, Bucky!

[James Bucky Carter]

Thanks! And if you know of anyone wanting to do a rationale or review of any of Moore's works, let me know, eh?

This looks to be a great resource for teaching with comics. I can't wait to check it all out. My first one will be your article on Contact Zone learned through X-Men!

 

I'd love to contribute to this journal! I'll reread my Alan Moore materials when I'm finished with my feminist essay for the Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics. Is there a deadline for submissions?

[James Bucky Carter]

Sean:The deadline has been extended and is now sort of "rolling." Contact me when you're ready to submit and I'll let you know where we are in the process.

Unfortunately due to an unexpected new job teaching college courses, I haven't been able to complete the essay.  I was planning on From Hell, but I don't think it'll happen anytime soon.  But do let me know when you're accepting submissions for the next issue!  I'm curious to know what the theme will be.

The 3rd issue is supposed to deal with "visualizing" and "visually representing." Contact Dr. Katie Monnin at UNF for more info. She's guest-co-editing that issue.
