Two co-authored “Cripping” Graphic Medicine articles are now available in the new issue of the Journal of Literary & Cultural Disability Studies!

Hooray! Happy news!

My dear friend and colleague, Rachael Zubal-Ruggieri (aka Batman Woman), and I have two co-authored pieces in part one of the new special double issue of the Journal of Literary & Cultural Disability Studies (Volume 17, Number 3). The issue is entitled: “Cripping Graphic Medicine I: Negotiating Empathy and the Lived Experiences of Disability in and through Comics,” published by Liverpool University Press. MANY thanks to special double issue editors Dorothee Marx and Gesine Wegner!

Rachael’s and my full-length research article: “Cripping” Graphic Medicine: Centering Disabled Experiences and Accessibility to Inform Theory and Transform Practice.

Rachael’s and my “comment from the field”: “Cripping” Graphic Medicine: Drawing Out the Public Sphere.

Thanks to Rebecca Garden, with whom we proposed, created, coordinated, and led the four-part, public symposium that occurred in Syracuse (2019-2020), and thanks to MK Czerwiec and Elizabeth J. Donaldson, our brilliant and talented presenters, without whom the symposium series would not have been possible! Abundant thanks, too, to the SU Humanities Center for supporting and providing funding for the “Cripping” Graphic Medicine symposium.
