Description
The webinar will set out the basic elements of a comics-based approach through the use of:
images (the ways in which core conceptual elements of the paper are established and developed which allow the reader to visualise the main points of the paper);
frames (as a means of establishing the parameters of the key elements of the paper) and
frames (as a means of establishing the parameters of the key elements of the paper) and
flows (the ways in which the key concepts relate to each other allowing for a clear signposting of the issues to generate moments that matter within the narrative);
and the role of the gutters - the spaces between the frames - as a means of identifying and developing emergent issues within the overall trajectory of the paper.

Following an overview of the nature of comics theory Denis Fischbacher-Smith (University of Glasgow) will demonstrate how conference abstracts and academic papers can be storyboarded using the approach. A comics-based approach allows an author to set out the key messages in a way that both draws the reader in and clearly signposts the issues that are going to be addressed. The webinar will also show how a systems-based approach can help to shape the overall delivery of the paper’s core messages.
