Associate Professor of American Studies and African American Studies Deborah Elizabeth Whaley has been extremely busy! Her book, Black Women in Sequence: Re-inking Comics, Graphic Novels, and Anime (University of Washington Press, 2015) has won a spot in the Scholarly Illustrated category of the 2016 AAUP Book, Jacket, & Journal Show. Jurors selected the cover as an example of outstanding design. The show will take place in June 2016 in Philadelphia, and then the exhibition will tour the country through May 2017.
