Happy New Year! This post was set to go out on the solstice until an internet outage prevented it. So with the new year upon us, I'm pleased to be able to share the entirety of chapter two here. While all but the title page have been posted previously, this is a chance to read them in sequence without having to piece them together. "The importance of seeing double and then some..." explores interdisciplinarity as an approach and in action - each page (for the most part) presents ideas from at least two realms (philosophy, literature, mathematics, and others) and weaves them together in an effort to continue to build perspective and find means to escape the flatness discussed in the opening chapter.
Hi Amanda, thanks for your kind words. Grateful to be able to do this work and glad to know it's helping to foster others in pushing on boundaries in their own ways. Thanks, Nick

His comics have been infiltrating the academic realm through numerous publications and he furthers his advocacy for the medium in the comics course he developed for educators at Teachers College.
