UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Using the visual and succinct medium of comics, Tanner Vea — assistant professor of learning, design, and technology and learning sciences in Penn State’s College of Education and affiliate faculty in the Rock Ethics Institute — hopes activists will find creative, new ways for putting ideas into practice and scholars will see ingenious ways of learning within social movements.
