About this event

Assistant Professor of Education T & L, Jared Crossley will present, "From Lampedusa to Marion: International Wordless Picturebooks as Cross-Cultural Bridges of Understanding." Abstract: Created in 2012 from the International Board on Books for Young People’s (IBBY) response to refugee arrivals on the Italian island of Lampedusa, the Silent Books Collection gathers wordless picturebooks from around the world to support understanding across languages and cultures. This talk shares findings from a recent thematic analysis of the collection, highlighting how these books can teach about the power of connecting with each other, with nature, and with art. Finally, we will highlight a portion of the collection that was recently donated to Ohio State Marion by the Korean branch of IBBY and share ideas for how faculty and students can use them to build cross-cultural understanding in their teaching and scholarship.
