🌊MINI KEYNOTES🌊

🪼Zines in the Classroom? How to Incorporate DIY Zines Into Learning Assessment: As a Visiting Assistant Professor at Reed College, I have used zines as a science communication assignment across multiple semesters and courses. Incorporating zines into your curriculum has multiple benefits for the students. In this talk, I will discuss many of the benefits of a zine assignment, as well as some of the obstacles.

🪼Gather, Hold, Ground; Building Community Through Zine Installations: Gather, Hold, Ground, is an on going traveling project where an art installation is used to display a zine archive. GHG, is the gathering of people, where we can hold space together for the purpose of grounding ourselves in each other’s stories through zines.

🪼Disrupting Institutional Narratives with Archival Research: Learn techniques for researching underrepresented histories through archives and records. Beq will demonstrate how they created a zine on working class student activist and organizing using student group archives, Reed collections, and community journalism.
