This Week in Graphic Medicine (2/8/19)

‘This Week in Graphic Medicine’ highlights relevant articles (and tweets) about comics in medicine published during the week (Saturday – Friday). Links are typically presented without commentary, unless clarification of relevance is necessary, with credit given to those who flagged them up where possible. So without further ado…

Matthew’s Pick of the Week…

My pick this week isn’t strictly speaking graphic medicine, but rather, a highlighting of a similar discipline, with a great deal of overlap: Graphic Justice. You may already be familiar with this idea – they have had a website, a listserv, and a Twitter page for some time now, as well as a few meet-ups, such as this one last year in NYC. I bring this up this week because, as was brought to my attention by the amazing Ebru Ustundag, they are now running a Facebook group as well!

The overlaps for graphic medicine and graphic justice are numerous – bioethics alone is filled with room joint discussion – so I encourage you all to join their new group, explore their other spaces, and get going on this important field!
