This syllabus examines the long history of the relationship between American voting rights and various comic forms. It is divided into a series of topics, organized roughly chronologically, that are particularly rich for exploring the role that cartoons, comics, and graphic narratives have played in debates about voting rights and the nature and scope of American democracy. The syllabus is designed to be maximally adaptable, providing a diverse selection of materials suitable for inclusion in courses in a variety of disciplines, as well as at a range of levels and on varying timetables.
