Sarah Febres-Cordero, faculty member of the Emory University School of Nursing, and sequential artist Joseph Karg, Assistant Professor of Illustration and Sequential Art, Kennesaw State University, and Andy Gish, board certified emergency nurse and overdose prevention educator will present a moderated discussion about their graphic novel "Staying Alive in Little Five." The conversation will focus on Febres-Cordero's research and experiences in place-based overdose recognition and response, as well as Karg's visual approach to bringing these experiences to life. Clint Fluker, senior director of culture, community and partner engagement for the Michael C. Carlos Museum and Emory Libraries will moderate the discussion. There will be an opportunity at the end of the presentation to ask questions.  Attendees will receive a copy of the graphic novel.
