[Comicsstudiessociety] Introduction

[Frederik Byrn Køhlert]

Hi all,

I'm a Lecturer in the School of Art, Media, and American Studies at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, United Kingdom. I work on questions of representation in autobiographical comics and beyond, as well as on various issues to do with comics and politics. I also have a current project on migration in comics and am fortunate that nearly all of my teaching is comics-related. In fact, we recently launched a new MA in Comics Studies here at UEA, which has seen a very enthusiastic response so far.
