I just received my author copies of this exciting volume. It contains 8 short comics about migration by a super-talented group of cartoonists, who worked with academics to create the narratives, and the resulting book exhibits an incredibly diverse approach to comics-making.

Congrats!

If you're an academic working on any aspect of comics and gender/sexuality, the two book series I edit are both open for submissions—so get in touch if you have an idea for a book!
