The MadZines research project is exploring how zines craft contention about mental health knowledge and practice. One of the purposes of the project is to explore the potential of zines to foster dialogue about contested issues in mental health. As part of this, the project team are having a series of dialogues with Mad-Zinesters (people who create and share zines about madness and distress). In the following extract from one of these conversations, Helen Spandler (HS) talks to Meg-John Barker (MJB) about how the comic graphics in their zines ‘craft contention’ about mental health.    HS: Can you remember how… Read More

Expanding Literacy in the Classroom – Richard Jaggers

Hello! My name is Richard Jaggers, and I am currently a Master’s student in teaching. After I gave my lightning talk, Expanding Literacy in the Classroom: Integrating Graphic Medicine in Primary and Secondary School Environments, at the Graphic Medicine Conference 2019 in Brighton, I was asked about writing a blog post for this site.  Plenty of people have talked about integrating graphic medicine into academic environments before, but the majority of these discussions focus on medical schools and universities. I want to be even more aggressive, bringing graphic medicine into schools at all levels, even down to elementary.  The understanding… Read More

Our Graphic Medicine conference – Que(e)rying Graphic Medicine : Paradigms, Practices and Power – was held in Brighton last week. It was a great success.

Graphic Medicine 2019 Poster Specifications

I thought I would post the poster specifications for the conference here. Posters should be formatted as below (or approximate these measurements if printers do not hold A1 paper stock)  A1 841 x 594 mm 33.1 x 23.4in    Portrait orientation Posters will be displayed on vertical boards, secured with thumb tacks or with adhesive putty, so you can bring them to the conference rolled in a tube.  Most people create the posters digitally and have them printed, but, in keeping with the Graphic Medicine ethos, handmade/drawn/painted is OK, too.
