Introduction and Welcome!

The Best We Could Do graphic novel coverWelcome to the UO’s First-Year College Connections course, My Visual Story: Comics and Personal Storytelling.

In this course we will be exploring personal and political narratives in the graphic novel The Best We Could Do: An Illustrated Memoir, learn about Asian history and heritage, and create your own artistic personal stories.

I am excited about the ways in which we will be exploring how our College Connections course connects ENG 280: Introduction to Comic Studies and ARH 210 Contemporary Asian Art and Architecture.

We will be meeting Fridays, 12:00-1:20pm in the Living and Learning Center (LLCN) room 123.

Please check back to this site for more updates as the terms progresses!

Best,

Robert
