On this third webinar co-hosted by Paula Clemente Vega (Open Library of Humanities) and and Dr Nicolas Labarre (editor of The Comics Grid's Graphic Science Special Collection; Université Bordeaux Montaigne) panelists Lydia Wysocki (Newcastle University) and Dr Paul Fisher Davies (East Sussex College) will discuss the following Comics Grid articles:

• Wysocki L., (2018) “Farting Jellyfish and Synergistic Opportunities: The Story and Evaluation of Newcastle Science Comic”, The Comics Grid: Journal of Comics Scholarship 8(0). p.6. doi: https://doi.org/10.16995/cg.119

The Comics Grid Webinar Series offers an online opportunity to chat live with authors about their articles published recently in the journal. Each episode focuses on two articles whose potential thematic and/or methodological interconnections can be explored and contrasted in order to stimulate scholarly discussion, collective learning and further research.  You can watch the previous two webinars of the series, here.

This event is organised by the Open Library of Humanities (OLH). The Open Library of Humanities is an academic-led, gold open-access publisher with no author-facing charges. With initial funding from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, the platform covers its costs by payments from an international library consortium, rather than any kind of author fee.
