Since our blog debuted in 2017, we have published 450+ posts. While some of you may have been with us from the start (thank you, loyal readers!), others may have joined us more recently.
As a result, we’re highlighting some of the posts that have garnered a lot of views or that address topics of continuing interest in the current moment — posts that you may have missed or that you might want to revisit.
Today’s archival find: a post published on 8 September 2020 which shares “Summer 2020 Research, Scholarship, and Creative Activity” — including two publications by faculty member Han Yu: “Response to ‘Make COVID-19 Visuals Gross’” (published on the Medical Humanities Blog on 28 May 2020) and “Conceptual Art or Readable Contract: The Use of Comics in Technical Communication” (published in Technical Communication Quarterly, 2020).
As we look forward to hosting author and comics artist Scott McCloud on March 1 for his presentation on “Comics and Visual Communication,” follow the links above to explore Han’s analysis of how the CDC’s SARS-CoV-2 illustration offers the best match for the public health emergency of 2020 as well as her research on the limits and possibilities of using “comics-style technical communication.”
