Comics and Medicine 6th International Conference: 

SPACES OF CARE

16th – 18th July 2015

Culver Arts Center

University of California, Riverside

The theme of the 2015 Comics & Medicine conference, Spaces of Care, invites us to think about space as a critical element in health care and comics. Receiving medical treatment can affect how we relate to and interact with each other and our environments. Medical care is often thought of as taking place primarily in clinical spaces. A strength of comics is their ability to visualize care beyond these settings to include geographic, physical, ideological, imaginative, temporal, and social spaces.
