Lapses in Literacy: Cultural Accessibility in Graphic Health Communication

Veronica Garrison-Joyner George Mason University ; Elizabeth Caravella York University

Abstract

This graphic meditation on issues of cultural relevance and accessibility in comic-based health communication texts presents the web of rhetorical considerations inherent in creating culturally accessible health communication texts. Applying recent technical communication theories related to social justice this article will examine contemporary instances of comics being used as health communication tools for culturally diverse patient populations. The authors offer original drawings and text for the article.
