Comic Submissions
Here are the full “Adventures of the Wolverzine” comic submissions that we made during our Zine layout event in October 2023.
Acknowledgments
A Zine about Students as Partners serves as an outlet for students, staff, and faculty in the many partnerships they forge on our campus and the implications of such partnerships for teaching and learning. The collaborative and reciprocal nature of such relationships is essential to the larger project of student-centered teaching, much in the spirit of Paulo Freire and bell hooks –
students, teachers, and staff all working together to make new knowledge and imagine alternate futures.
We publish diverse and inclusive content that allows contributors to reflect on what these kinds of partnerships mean to them. In this way, we extend ongoing dialogues about students as partners and center egalitarian and progressive learning among our campus community.
This project was made possible by a grant from the Arts Initiative at the University of Michigan. The Arts Initiative grant has generously funded us through 2024. Additionally, this project was created with funds from the Hub for Teaching and Learning and with support from the Office of the Dean of Students.
