In this first installment of the 2022 Global Issues Through Literature Series (GILS), educators will convene to discuss Sabrina Jones & Marc Mauer’s Race to Incarcerate: A Graphic Retelling, a complex story of four decades of prison expansion and its corrosive effect on generation of Americans and its implications for American democracy.
GILS is a reading group for K-16 educators to literary texts from a global perspective. Content specialists present the work and its context, and participants brainstorm innovative pedagogical practices for incorporating the text and its themes into the curriculum. This year’s theme is Graphic Novels in Global Context: Social Justice Through Illustration and Text.
