Event Information
From October 2025 to March 2026, Understanding Through Comics will host two start-of-term welcome luncheons, seven discussions, one colloquium, and two end-of-term socials. We invite students, staff, and faculty from across the university to join us in reading comics as entertainment, research, and social change. We especially welcome folks new to comics.
Our discussions are held in-person and virtually at the UBC iSchool on Friday, 10 October, 2025 from 12:50 PM to 1:50 PM; Monday, October 20, 2025 from 12:50pm to 1:50pm; Friday, 7 November 2025; and Monday, 17 November 2025 from 12:50pm to 1:50pm. We encourage you to bring your favourite comics to foster conversation and community.
