Completing a dissertation entirely in
comic book form ---
Thursday, Nov. 15, 11 a.m., in AF202
- Dr. Lynn M. Kutch
and students in the graphic novel class welcome Nick Sousanis, doctoral
candidate in the education program at Columbia University's Teachers College.
Sousanis is completing his entire dissertation in comic form. He will give a
talk on the inspiration and creative process behind his work. From his blog:

"I do hope that it helps open doors within the academic community for other visual-verbal scholarly works, as well as other forms already in existence or still-to-be-imagined. But I don't see this as becoming the new standard. Rather, I hope it contributes to raising the question of what 'standard' means, and providing an example that others will take up in their own way, by their own means of working," explained Sousanis. The Office of Admissions would like to thank the campus community for assisting in making the three fall Open Houses a success. We hosted more than 1,000 students plus their families at these three events. Thank you again for your support! Nancy D.
