[VPAAEtal] National Library Week Program: Dr. Chris Gonzalez, "Redrawing the Borders of Comics, Latino Style, " Tuesday, April 12th at 7:00pm

[Academic Affairs]

You are cordially invited to hear Dr. Christopher Gonzalez, of the Department of Literature and Languages, speak on April 12 in recognition of National Library Week.   Dr. González will discuss the much-maligned storytelling form of comic books. Taking his audience through such characters as Ghost Rider, Blue Beetle, and Ultimate Spider-Man, Dr. González will posit how long-established characters can be reimagined as Latino characters. These sorts of creative decisions have a significant impact both on the characters as well as the Latino communities they inhabit, to say nothing of their readers.

Dr. González is a scholar of Latino/a literature and culture across media. He has authored and edited books on Latinos and Latino culture in the NFL, Sci-Fi, comic books, film, and literature. Dr. González's program will explore themes related to education, literacy, storytelling, impact, and culture.
