Here’s the abstract for Professor Whaley’s talk again:

 

This talk will explore graphic novel production and comic book fandom, focusing in particular on women African descent as deployed in television, film, animation, and print representations of comic strip, comic book, and graphic novel characters. Whaley will also discuss Black women artists and writers of sequential art, and how Japanese comics, music, and politics shapes their comic art.

 

And finally, please do have a look at the graphic novella on how to study comics and graphic novels which Josean Morlesin (a regular attendee), Enrique, and Mitch have produced together, if you haven’t already: https://torch.ox.ac.uk/article/published-how-to-study-comics-and-graphic-novels.

 

With best wishes from all of us,

 

Leen, Mitch, Enrique (and Jennifer, who will be chairing as well as co-curating next term’s programme)
