Today for #SJComix365 we’re looking at an exciting new emergence in the subgenre of social justice comics... yep! You guessed it! Comics scholarship! You are so smart. Today we're looking at an example of comics scholarship out of the UK, called “Tottenham’s Trojan Horse? A tale of stadium-led regeneration in North London”. Anyone studying gentrification or urban planning, take note. Dr Mark Panton researched the impact of football stadium-led regeneration projects for his PhD at Birkbeck, before turning his thesis into a graphic book with the help of illustrator Amanda Lillywhite. “Tottenham’s Trojan Hirse?” provides insight into this regeneration project from stakeholders on every side, including local residents, Haringey councillors, Members of Parliament and Tottenham Hotspur FC managers. It also provides useful context on the effects of budget cuts on councils, the consultation process between local politicians and residents, and the history of #Tottenham, including the 2011 riots. This comic is not well distributed but is available in stores online. It would be great to see it get into more libraries in North America. #comicsscholarship #tottenhamtrojanhorse #urbanplanning #gentrification #Numtots #UKcomics #comics #nonfictioncomics https://www.instagram.com/p/BtOYTGpAaJy/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=13syg1j976trt
