Graphic Medicine 2016: Stages & Pages
July 7-9, Dalhousie Building, University of Dundee, Scotland.
REGISTRATION AND TRAVEL INFORMATION HERE
The theme of this year’s conference, Stages & Pages, invites us to think about comics and healthcare in relation to performance in its myriad conflicting and complementary forms, from the clinical, to the social, and to the theatrical. Both clinicians and patients alike often feel the need to live up to prescribed roles both on and off the medical stage. This conference will consider the various ways in which comics address these issues.
PLEASE NOTE THE SCHEDULE BELOW IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE!

On the registration and travel info link, I found the hotel booking site and the venue info, but no indication of the conference cost itself or how to register…
Did I miss something?

Melissa says
Jan. 30, 2016 at 9:59 pmIs there an option to submit artwork to the conference? I remember in previous conferences there were some pieces of artwork up for auction.
Comic Nurse says
Jan. 31, 2016 at 11:06 amDetails for that should be emerging soon, but as of now I believe the answer is yes.
Chaitanya Modak says
Feb. 9, 2016 at 4:08 amWish to make a oral presentation on Comic narratives of stages of life, illness, and the medical career.
However the story is a work in progress currently, does that disqualify it?
Comic Nurse says
Feb. 9, 2016 at 9:13 amNo, not at all. Often presentations about works-in-progress are done as lightning presentations.
Heather Lewis says

May. 2, 2016 at 6:41 amFrom a cultural point of view, they are worth a lot! In terms of dollars, I have no idea.

May. 16, 2016 at 2:40 pmHi Comic Nurse,
Thanks a lot for you, for valuable post.
CL says
Jun. 26, 2016 at 5:09 pmIs there an access statement? I would encourage participants and attendees to be as scent/perfume-free as possible, if the committee hasn’t already. This was an issue at the last conference, so just offering a friendly reminder.
Comic Nurse says
Jun. 27, 2016 at 9:43 amHi – yes, this statement has been included at the bottom of emails sent:
“The Comics and Medicine Conference has a fragrance-free policy.
