Summary:

This edited collection analyses the use of comics in primary and secondary education. The editors and contributors draw together global research to examine how comics can be used for critical inquiry within schools, and how they can be used within specific disciplines. As comics are beginning to be recognised more widely as an important resource for teaching, with a huge breadth of topics and styles, this interdisciplinary book unites a variety of research to analyse how learning is 'done' with and through comics. The book will be of interest to educational practitioners and school teachers, as well as students and scholars of comic studies, education and social sciences more broadly. Robert Aman is Associate Professor in Education at Linkoping University, Sweden. He primarily conducts research on ideology and the politics of representation in comics. His most recent book, The Phantom Comics and the New Left was published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2020. Lars Wallner is a Senior Lecturer at Linkoping University, Sweden working in the field of Pedagogic Practices. His research explores the use of comics, games and popular fiction, mainly regarding education and social interaction.
