| Abstract: | Comics-based /arts-based research is increasingly employed in anthropology and other social science disciplines. As part of my ongoing doctoral research on the experiences of young adults with learning disabilities in India, I have engaged in researcher-produced drawings/comics to depict my fieldwork findings. In this paper, I present three single-panel comics that illustrate experiences of "the invisibility of learning disability," "ableism in classrooms," and "negotiating the disability identity." I then present three corresponding counter-comics with alternative visualizations to depict inclusive practices in higher education. Through these, I aim to demonstrate the utility of comics in research and their potential in disability advocacy and pedagogy. |
