Co-edited special collection on Comics, Memory & Activism in the journal Memory, Mind & Media

The journal is open access and fruitfully bridges cultural/sociological and cognitive/biological approaches to memory. The special collection on Comics, Memory & Activisms is an ongoing project, so if any members of research network Data Science would be interested in contributing and collaborating, we would love to hear from them.
