Oxford Comics Network

Making use of TORCH’s interdisciplinary platform, Oxford Comics Network brings students, critics and practitioners from a variety of disciplinary backgrounds to explore the power, politics and potential of the comics form. Oxford Comics Network is designed to cultivate an open, democratic and inclusive environment where these varying implications can be discussed, debated and analysed by students and academics of all levels. Featuring bi-weekly seminars with talks from visiting comics critics and practitioners throughout the Oxford term time, the network aims to facilitate a new interdisciplinary dialogue about a form that demands more comprehensive and ongoing critical analysis. To appear on the network mailing list, please email network conveners: Enrique Del Rey Cabero & Michael Goodrum at comics@torch.ox.ac.uk, michael.goodrum@canterbury.ac.uk or leen.vanbroeck@medsci.ox.ac.uk
