- In this workshop, MJ Barker explored the use of creative methods to get research and academic ideas to wider audiences, and potentially as a form of ongoing self-care and/or reflexive practice through our work.
- MJ Barker talked about their own experiences working on Queer: A Graphic History and the follow up Graphic Guides to Gender and Sexuality, as well as developing the self-care zines available on their website.
- During the workshop, participants were given the opportunity to try out planning and creating content which might work for communicating their ideas to a wider audience. Workshop attendees were asked to reflect on a number of questions including: Why communicate with non-academic audiences? What are your fears and concerns around communicating/working with non-academic audiences, whether self-care and/or practical? What draws you in or holds you back?
