Education Initiatives

Because of their popularity and narrative capabilities, various elements of popular culture have increasingly been used as education tools not only in classrooms but by museums and non-profits as well. Specially designed comic books have been created to tell stories about the Holocaust, the plight of the homeless, and the science of engineering, for instance, while a Colorado museum created a Dungeons & Dragons’ adventure that mirrors local history. In the twenty-first century, the best way to educate is to add some pop culture into the mix.
