Hi,
Dr. Mel Gibson here. I'd like to welcome you to this Jiscmail list. Please feel
free to offer CFPs, conference announcements and send any other comic-
related material you feel will benefit other comics scholars.
If you also want to say a what work you are doing around the medium, and
where you are based, that would be great.
Things may be quiet initially, given that this is the first month of the list, but I
know there is lots of activity around the medium going on across a wide range
of disciplines and institutions. The aim of this list is to try to start making links
across those spaces.
I'm based at Northumbria University. Much of my work focuses on comics,
graphic novels and manga, although that emcompasses both academic work
and material for teachers, librarians and other professionals. My website gives
a much better idea of my interests http://www.dr-mel-comics.co.uk/ . I find
I'm one of a very small group of folk looking at British girl's comics, for instance.
I'm also involved in using my National Teaching Fellowship award to create
resources, support the development of conference strands, or whole
conferences, on comics.
All the best
Mel
