Le Prix de la Démocratie

Written By Agathe Denis

In the fall of my first year as PhD I was the TA for a course called “The Price of Democracy”. It was an introductory course, using economic research to discuss how media and democracy are interlinked. During these classes I would illustrate the points of the course into one page spreads. This was a bit of a challenge as I had to live translate the course, while illustrating and condensing the information into tasty morsels. Each of the pages below were drawn live, with some minor edits for legibility. Click on the arrows to scroll through the pages!

The articles mentioned in the drawings listed below in no particular order, and not in mla format (this is not my PhD):
