Dr Antonio Lazaro-Reboll, Senior Lecturer in Hispanic Studies in the Department of Modern Languages, has co-organised a conference entitled ‘Comics Crossroads’ to be held at the University of Kent this Sunday 26 June 2016.

The aim of the conference is to bring together a diverse group of postgraduates, early career researchers, and leading scholars working on comics, cartoons, caricature and drawn visual arts from different perspectives and different fields in the humanities. The burgeoning field of Comics Studies risks fragmentation as scholars entrenched in one tradition are unaware of the important contributions being made in others. The conference seeks to counter such divisive trends by introducing cutting-edge research to a new generation of emerging scholars, and providing a space for both receptive and productive engagement with current trends and new avenues of scholarly interaction.

Antonio will act as a respondent to a number of papers to be delivered at the event.
