Making knowledge public
The Bobcat Comics series features collaborations between artists and UC Merced scholars. The comics explore research on colonial Alta California, how Latinas use "journey" rather than "war" metaphors when talking about breast cancer, unruly patriarchs and failed women and more. One stand-out is How to Read an Aztec "Comic": Indigenous Knowledge, Mothers' Bodies, and Tamales in the Pot, a collaboration by artist Jordan Collver and Chicana Studies scholar Felicia Rhapsody Lopez about women's representation in the ancient Mesoamerican text, Codex Borgia/Yoalli EhΔcatl.
Another stand-out is the bilingual Sed por Cambio: Una GuΓa Visual para Involucrarse en la PolΓtica del Agua / Thirsty for Change: Visual Guide to Getting Involved in Water Politics.
