Summer Session: E is For Extinction feat. Sara Century

from Mutant Studies 101

Welcome to Summer Class, students! For our inaugural Summer Session, we will be diving DEEP into Grant Morrison's seminal run on New X-Men from 2001-2004. Joining us for our first episode is Sara Century (Comics critic, zine maker, and co-creator of The Forgotten Five) to talk all about E is For Extinction! Topics for this lecture include: How Morrison and Quitely radically reinvent the franchise from the bottom up, how this run does and doesn't take from the movies, All of the incredible personal dynamics built on top of one another, a bit of reader's theater, and a request for Jean to be mean again! Content Warning: This episode contains discussions of genocide and the idea of a slave class. You can find links to all of Sara's work at saracentury.com.

We need to go beyond algorithmic thinking and understand deeper principles, the WHY behind the algorithm. When every decision counts you want to rely on a framework that will guide you when things don’t make sense. Loud & Clear: EMS Guiding Principles is your resource to build that framework. Through discussions with experts, review of evidence-based best practices, and real-world case studies we teach you one step past what you learned in paramedic school. But all of this advanced education is connected back to the guiding principles that answer the question- “at the end of the day, what actually matters to the patient I have in front of me?” Our mission is to elevate your Explicit Weird Studies SpectreVision Radio Professor Phil Ford and writer J.
