![]() Felicia and Carolyn will talk about the process of adapting their research into an illustrated format from the perspective of their respective disciplines.įelicia works on “the visual culture of Indigenous Nahua of Mexico and Central America, as well as neighbouring Indigenous people, specifically through the decipherment of glyphic texts.” Carloyn works on “the nature of attention and its impact on the mind.” Pino brings a different style and approach to illustration and narration – more spare and succinct – drawn from her background in illustrating children’s books. I’ll be speaking alongside Felicia Lopez (Assistant Professor of Chicanx Studies and English at UC Merced) who I worked with to create a comic of her research, along with Carolyn Jennings (Associate Professor of Philosophy and Cognitive Science at UC Merced) and Pino Cao, a Toronto-based illustrator, who have also made a comic about Carolyn’s research. Who’s on the panel with you and what will they bring? Felicia Lopez, Carolyn Jennings and Pino Cao And I think it should also be useful for artists looking to work with researchers too! The aim is to help professors, researchers, and graduate students think about the process of collaborating with an artist or illustrator to communicate their research to the general public. The main focus of the event is on helping humanities scholars reach a broader public through comics, but the principles we’ll be talking about will also apply to other disciplines as well, like science and engineering. The comics will be available to read online beforehand, and printed copies will be distributed for those attending in-person, so the event also doubles as a sort of launch of the comics themselves. They run a comic series called Bobcat Comics, that pairs researchers with artists, and the session will be a good opportunity for the collaborators to talk about and share our experiences of the project. The event is a round table discussion organised by the Center for the Humanities at the University of California, Merced (with their counterparts at all nine other UCs co-sponsoring). Please tell our readers about the “Telling Your Research Story Through Comics” event and what its aims are?
