Description
The queens college graduate school of library and information studies, in partnership with manga in libraries, will conduct a three-year research project to understand why bipoc teens read manga (japanese comics). This applied research project is at the intersection of two LIS issues: the need to provide services to bipoc teens who have been historically underserved, and the need to address the knowledge GAP of librarians who are undertrained/unfamiliar with manga-the fastest growing print media format in the united states. This project will: 1) identify and find patterns in the manga series teens are reading, document the visual/textual literacy of bipoc teens, and compare the data with earlier findings for a connection between social-emotional learning and reading manga; and 2) develop and deliver 12 workshops and online resources "in their own voices" to school librarians, public librarians, and preservice librarians about how they can support bipoc youth.
