Our first column for Volume 60 of JAAL focuses on the messages of expanded ways of seeing in knowledge construction that are contained in the pages of Unflattening, a comic book originally written by Nick Sousanis as his doctoral dissertation. Unflattening seeks to literally unflatten conceptions of meaning, reading, and writing through an active embrace of multimodality in its integration of images, design, and various genres of written text.
