Are you interested in creative ways to make your research accessible to a broader audience? Do you want to experiment with image-based methods to spur your writing practice? Would you like to incorporate zine pedagogy in your course design?

Join four UVA scholars as they share their experiences with and approaches to translating aspects of their research into zine-form. They will discuss how zine-making aids their writing and research processes, as well as how they use zines and zine-making in their teaching. 

Panelists:

Tovah Close, Senior Lecturer, Department of Drama

Monique Dufour, Director of Faculty Development, School of Medicine

Isabel Gonzales, Rising Scholar Postdoctoral Research Associate and Lecturer, Department of Women, Gender, & Sexuality

Jennifer Lawrence, Assistant Professor, Urban and Environmental Planning, School of Architecture 

The panelists will present examples of their zine-based work and discuss their approaches. In the second hour, participants will be guided to create their own mini-zines, based on their research and interests. Materials provided, but feel free to bring your own!

There will be snacks and refreshments.

Zines Now! is a year-long initiative showcasing the history of zines as an art form, highlighting future possibilities for the making and distribution of zines, and facilitating the expression of students’ and community members' passions and priorities now. This project is generously supported by the UVA Arts Council.
