CARTOONS ARE AMONG THE MOST BASIC FORM of political commentary, but their simplicity also renders them vulnerable to attack. Today’s threats range from direct attacks by governments to self-censorship by publishers and the crossfire of the culture wars. This symposium brings together leading artists and experts to discuss the power and precarity of cartoons in America and around the world.

Participants include Barbie Zelizer (Annenberg School), Cherian George (Hong Kong Baptist University), and cartoonists Rob Rogers, Vilma Vargas, Ted Rall, John Lent, Signe Wilkinson, Charles Brownstein, Emad Hajjaj, and Mr. Fish.
