Academic Life


2018-ongoing


This page documents a series of comic strips about academic life. They are drawn as provocations for thinking about higher education in current times. There are stormy waters ahead and this is my way of thinking about the issues. Publications and conference presentations related to these comics can be found at the bottom of the page.
