Humanities and Fine Arts 191HFA24 - FYS-ComicBook,Queerness,WWoman

What does it mean to be "fit in" when you can fly, have super strength, or are born from a god? This course will explore the rise in popularity of comic books and graphic novels from Marvel movies to indie publishers and how characters are drawn and portrayed in the 2010s. Come consider how gender identities, sexuality, and traditional perceptions of masculinity and femininity shape how we read and view the world through the lens of pop culture and some of your favorite superheroes.

Open to first-year Humanities and Fine Arts Exploratory Track students and first-year HFA Majors.
