Founded in 2003, Prism supports queer and LGBTQ-friendly comics professionals, readers, educators and librarians through its website, social networking, booths and panel presentations at conventions. Prism Comics also presents the annual Prism Awards for excellence in queer comics in collaboration with the Queer Comics Expo and The Cartoon Art Museum.

You’re all family, and we hope everyone had a safe and productive 2020 and first half of 2021. In the past year and a half we’ve seen queer, BIPOC, AAPI and other marginalized communities come forth with strength, power and pride like we have not seen in a long time. In the face of hate and discrimination we at Prism stand even more strongly for the principles of diversity and equality on which the organization was founded. We stand with the Black, Asian American and Pacific Islander, Indigenous, Latinx, Transgender communities and People of Color - LGBTQ+ and allies - in advocating for inclusion and social justice. Comics, graphic novels and arts are very powerful mediums for marginalized voices to be heard.

The purpose of this thesis is to provide an overview of major game studies theories and situate them within technical communication theory and practices. Technical communicators can leverage game studies theories to augment existing technical communication theories and practices. Specifically, I examine cognitive learning theory in game design, game usability, playability, and user-centered design, and how these theories relate to technical communication, rhetorical, mobile UI/UA, and general usability theories and methods.

    Copyright by Katherine Elizabeth Sanchez 2016 The report committee for Katherine Elizabeth Sanchez Certifies that this is the approved version of the following report: Heroes Wear Dupattas: Muslim Representation in American Comic Books APPROVED BY SUPERVISING COMMITTEE: Co-Supervisor: Chad Seales Co-Supervisor: John W. Traphagan Heroes Wear Dupattas: Muslim Representation in American Comic Books by Katherine Elizabeth Sanchez, B.A. Report Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of the University of Texas at Austin in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts The University of Texas at Austin May 2016 Abstract Heroes Wear Dupattas: Muslim Representation in American Comic Books Katherine Elizabeth Sanchez, MA The University of Texas at Austin, 2016 CO-SUPERVISORS: Chad Seales and John W.
