We launched in Fall 2024 and saw interest grow dramatically over the academic year, and have even continued into the months of Summer 2025. Here are some of our accomplishments:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We organized and hosted 19 lab events, with a total attendance of 293<\/strong>. These activities include Working Wednesdays (AKA Drop-in-and-Draw), ‘De-stress with Comics’ during final exams, hands-on workshops with professional creators, and public lectures with scholars and creators. Participants have come from every<\/em> UVM college and school!<\/p>\n\n\n\n We conducted 7 in-class hands-on workshops<\/strong> introducing the basics of creating research-based comics, engaging 121 undergraduate students<\/strong> in learning how to connect their research with comics storytelling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the spirit of public service, we created a library research guide<\/strong> on the topic of “Comics-Based Research and Comics Studies<\/a>.” It includes original comics created by our lab research assistant, Sophie Hood (Class of 2025), who was our lead on this project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We also started a listserv<\/strong> that now has 90+ people. Want to be on that listserv? Email Luis (lvivanco@uvm.edu).<\/p>\n\n\n\n We have received strong financial support from the Office for the Vice President for Research, the Humanities Center, the College of Arts and Sciences Deans Office, and the Anthropology Department<\/strong>. And we could not have done any of this without the ongoing support of the Silver Special Collections Library<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But perhaps best of all, CBR Lab has created convivial spaces where faculty, staff, post-docs, graduate students, and undergrads come together can learn, draw, and support each other<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We launched in Fall 2024 and saw interest grow dramatically over the academic year, and have even continued into the months of Summer 2025.
