In today's world, visual communication is a part of daily life for learners. However, traditional teaching and evaluation approaches in social sciences and humanities often overlook visual thinking and production. To address this gap, our year-long collaboration with seed funding from UCL and IIT Delhi focused on developing new teaching techniques for helping students and scholars think visually and disseminate their ideas graphically. As computational language models threaten traditional forms of assessment, graphic visual storytelling offers an exciting new avenue for creative evaluation. We conducted workshops at UCL and IIT Delhi, teaching hands-on learning models for producing graphic visual narratives that are engaging for 21st century audiences. Our exercises integrated design thinking, visual semiotics, and cultural studies, fostering opportunities for collaborative learning and creating safe spaces in the classroom. Our paper presents our findings and practical examples to inspire colleagues and students to use graphic visual storytelling in their teaching and learning practices.
