During times of disruption, like now, students don't need teachers to be therapists - just to know we are human. When I interviewed students during the pandemic, a consistent theme was how meaningful it was just to have their instructors acknowledge that the times were a struggle for everyone.

The 5-year retrospective articles about the pandemic have talked about things that have changed as a result of that experience. What students told me interviews then about how their perceptions of school, technology, and place were changing I continue to see ripples of today.

One of the things the current attacks on education may be affecting is students' perceptions of / relationships with the university as an institution. It was something students talked to me about during the pandemic that wasn't always obvious, but could be happening now too.

The thing about comics - it’s not simply about how words & pictures hang out(which is not how I define comics) - but how reading itself is changed - when the eye moves in all kinds of directions beyond LR, LR… I (clearly) really like to play with reading flow & what I can say differently as a result
