The creators of Queer: A Graphic History and Gender: A Graphic Guide discuss their collaborative process in this free online talk.

Comics and graphic narratives can be a great way to educate and enlighten people on what are often thought of as complicated subjects. In a series of three books, Queer: A Graphic History, Gender: A Graphic Guide and Sexuality: A Graphic Guide, writer Meg-John Barker and cartoonist Jules Scheele explore how we came to view sex, gender and sexuality in the ways that we do; and how these views have been disputed and challenged.In this free online talk, the creative team behind the books will have an informal conversation, asking each other questions and talking about their work and their collaborative process.RSVP and you&#x27;ll be sent a link to join the Zoom chat closer to the time of the event.Jules Scheele is a freelance illustrator, comics artist and graphic facilitator based in Glasgow.
