- Conference Papers--About Comics:
- I regularly present a workshop at health conferences, introducing
health educators to basic concepts of comic structure (a la McCloud),
and critiquing a series of "Good, Bad and Ugly" health education comics
slides. I've done it under varying titles at the National Migrant Health
Conference, regional Migrant Stream Fora, The Pacific Northwest Society
of Public Health Educators, and in Masters-level Health Communications
classes at the University...
-
- Research Interests, Current Projects (Comics and Otherwise):
- My primary "professional" area of interest is the adaptation of
comics and fotonovelas to educational messages, primarily in health. I
collect, research, and produce educational comics and fotonovelas, and
spend much of my time working on promoting "edutainment" and "dramatic
or 'novela' formats" and strategies for health outreach. My primary area
of "personal" interest is fotonovelas as a format. I have one of the (as
best I can discover) few American fotonovela collections, modest as it
is, and I am on a path towards starting to create personal,
self-published fotonovelas in a sort of mini-comix style. I
(occasionally) maintain a fotonovela web page listed above.
-
- Other Comments:
- I am the Program Manager of Novela Health Education, the country's
only non-profit dedicated to creating and distributing health education
media in the "Novela" or dramatic format. Our materials, primarily in
Spanish, include comic books, fotonovelas, and dramatic videotapes, and
present an engaging, consequence-based approach to health education. In
addition to producting materials on our own and for clients nationwide,
we distribute materials in these formats to clinics, hospitals and
health departments through a mail-order catalogue.

-
- Research Interests, Current Projects (Comics and Otherwise):
- Officially : On-going project deals with the manual-handling tasks
of firefighters in relation to low-back problems. Personal interest and
part-time : A work analysis of comic strip heroes; what do comic strip
heroes do for a living? how do they perform their work? What are the
risks they encounter? Does the virtual "immunity" of paper heroes has an
influence on real-life behaviour? OK - OK this is just a draft. Right
now, I am at the data collection phase, and I hope something interesting
will come out of this. With a little luck, I should publish something
about this in 3 - 5 years. Rate of papers in that domain should increase
the closer I get to retirement (that is 10 - 15 years...)
-
- Other Comments: I do voluntary work for a Community Radio
station, CINQ-FM Radio Centre-ville Montreal at 102,3 FM (VERY LOW power
transmitter), feeding the producer (Marc de Roussan) and animator (Bob
Laplante) with interesting things I find on the Internet. Not so long
ago, one had to wait for a Book fair or Comics fest to meet other people
knowledgeable of Comics and Bande dessinee - now, with the Internet,
this can happen on a daily basis. The name of our show is "Au pays des
bulles" (and yes, it's in French, you just guessed it...). On the show,
we evaluate newly released albums and conduct interviews with artists
visiting Quebec on a personal or public-relation basis. We also had a
survey of the 'best' albums, and we have other voluntary contributors
that come to speak about Mangas, censorhip, mainstream and alternative
English speaking comics and collecting. Interviewed personalities in
1997 were, for example: Sylvain Chomet (his album just won the grand
prize in Angouleme), Nicolas Sabourin (best Tintin www site in the
world), French rising star Lewis Trondheim, Mr. Theberge (director of
the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, about the Asterix exhibition), Ted
Benoit (who revived "Blake and Mortimer"), Albert Uderzo (Asterix), Jean
Toba, Brino Gazotti, Jacques Ferrandez, plus a cohort of local artists,
and, not to forget, Guy Spielman of ICAF fame. I also distribute an
approximatively weekly electronic newslewtter, "La liste des
BeDeNautes", whose role is to share informations about the comics and
bande dessinee scene in the Montreal area : a new underground comics
issue, an exhibition, a famous author signing his/her work at a library
or at a festival,....

- Research Interests, Current Projects (Comics and Otherwise):
- I'm not currently involved in any official research (I begin my
honours year in Philosophy in a month) however I am currently trying to
formulate a framework or list of qualities that are important when
designing and critiqueing comics, a thorough and practical diagnosis
framework for social work particularly when looking at families, setting
up a artificial society on my computer (instead of Alife, it's Asociety)
and general philosophical essays but, from a general career and
university point of view my main interest is in how experience changes
the physiology of the human brain and whether and how, in cases such as
children who have experienced traumatic events, the effects can be
reversed of minimised..
-
- Other Comments: My course is Liberal arts/Social work which
basically boils down to psychology (I'm interested in developmental and
neuropsychology), philosophy and social work.
