Zines as popular education tools for empowerment, community, and activism
Événement
How can a simple DIY publication become a tool for empowerment, community building, and social change? Join writer, educator, and zine researcher Sage Pantony for an interactive workshop exploring the power of zines - small, independently produced publications that combine creativity, storytelling, and self-expression. Discover how zines can amplify marginalized voices, encourage dialogue, challenge systems of oppression, and make knowledge more accessible. Through discussions and activities, participants will explore the potential of zines in popular education, activism, and educational research. No prior experience with zines or research is required. Just bring your curiosity and questions! About the facilitator Sage Pantony (they/them) is a writer, educator, workshop facilitator, and zine researcher. A recent graduate of Concordia University's MA in Educational Studies program, they have been creating zines since 2019. Their work explores how zines can support empowerment, community building, and activism through popular education. --- This workshop is supported by the Centre for the Study of Learning and Performance (CSLP), the Fonds de recherche du Québec (FRQ), and the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC) .
