    July 12

  • This paper presents a reflection on drawing self-narrative comics as a method of engagement with identity and lived experience, and the potential implications of such an approach for illustration education. I will present my research-creation project that used a practice of drawing autobiographical comics to make sense of queer ways of being in childhood – ways of being that may have been discounted, ignored, or suppressed within a dominant heteronormative culture.
