Panelists:

Lydia Wysocki is an educational researcher at Newcastle University, using
sociocultural theory to explore how what people read influences how they
understand the social world. She founded and leads Applied Comics Etc,
working with subject specialists and comics artist-writers to make comics
that communicate specific information.

Dr Paul Fisher Davies gained his Ph.D. in 2017 in the school of English at
University of Sussex. His monograph *Comics as Communication: A Functional
Approach* was published by Palgrave in December 2019. He has published in
Studies in *Comics, the Journal of Graphic Novels and Comics*, and *The
Comics Grid* amongst others, including academic work in comics form. He
currently teaches English Language at East Sussex College in Lewes, UK. As
well as studying and writing about graphic narrative form, he has written a
collection of graphic short stories, with previews archived at
www.crosbies.co.uk.

Hosts: Paula Clemente Vega (Open Library of Humanities) and Dr Nicolas
Labarre (editor of *The Comics Grid's *Graphic Science Special Collection;
Université Bordeaux Montaigne).

*The Comics Grid* Webinar Series offers an online opportunity to chat live
with authors about their articles published recently in the journal. Each
episode focuses on two articles whose potential thematic and/or
methodological interconnections can be explored and contrasted in order to
stimulate scholarly discussion, collective learning and further research.
