TODAY: NLM History Talk @2pm ET ~ Bayoumi on COVID Comics



You are cordially invited to the next NLM History Talk, "COVID Comics: Decentering White Narratives in Graphic Medicine During the COVID-19 Pandemic," to be held virtually tomorrow, Thursday, March 30, at 2pm ET: https://videocast.nih.gov/watch=48675.

 

Join us to welcome our speaker Soha Bayoumi, PhD, Senior Lecturer, Medicine, Science, and the Humanities, Johns Hopkins University.

 

The Graphic Medicine Manifesto (2015) defines Graphic Medicine as "the intersection of the medium of comics and the discourse of healthcare." Since the field emerged over a decade ago as a legitimate area of scholarly inquiry, artistic creativity, and interest for medical professionals, patients, and caregivers alike, the NLM has engaged with it in different ways, growing its collection of graphic narratives exploring experiences of illness and organizing a traveling exhibition, "Graphic Medicine: Ill-Conceived & Well-Drawn!" through display panels and a variety of events to raise awareness about this burgeoning field. Despite efforts to diversify the field of Graphic Medicine, many have lamented the fact that it continued to center white narratives. In this talk, Dr. Bayoumi explores the ways in which the COVID-19 pandemic has changed this. She argues that the nature of the pandemic, as a major global event affecting health all over the planet and disproportionately impacting communities of color, meant that many more BIPOC and other people of the global majority have produced diverse narratives of COVID, graphic and otherwise. She claims that COVID's diversifying effect on Graphic Medicine is indelible and is paving the way for the expression of many more diverse graphic narratives of health and illness.  

 

Participate in the Q&A via the live feedback interface of the videocast.

 

Visit Circulating Now, the blog of the NLM History of Medicine Division, to read our interview with Dr. Bayoumi.

 

This free program, like all NLM History Talks, will be live-streamed globally, closed-captioned live, and subsequently archived in the NIH Videocast archive of History of Medicine programs.

 

NLM History Talks promote awareness and use of NLM and related historical collections for research, education, and public service in biomedicine, the social sciences, and the humanities. The series also supports the commitment of the NLM to recognize the diversity of its collections—which span ten centuries, encompass a range of digital and physical formats, and originate from nearly every part of the globe—and to foreground the voices of people of color, women, and individuals of a variety of cultural and disciplinary backgrounds who value these collections and use them to advance their research, teaching, and learning.

    PR: Important Information for the 2023 Ignatz Awards Submissions


    Hello Creators and Publishers!!


    We learned a lot last year with the new submission process and judging teams, so we are tweaking things a bit this year to make the process smoother all the way around.


    Below is the information you need about the changes we made to submit your works for this year's Ignatz Awards.


    Please read all of the below and any questions, do not hesitate to send them to ignatzawards@smallpressexpo.com.


    Thanks,

    Warren and Francesca

    2023 Ignatz Awards Schedule


    • April 1 - Ignatz Submissions Open
    • May 31 - Ignatz Submissions Close
    • Mid-August - Ignatz nominees announced
    • September 9 @ 9:30PM - Ignatz Awards Ceremony


    Ignatz Logo by Juni Ba.

    The Ignatz Awards are proudly sponsored by:

    NEW SUBMISSION PAGE DESIGN


    There is now a new Ignatz Submissions landing page that is much more user friendly with all of the Ignatz categories. You can get to the submissions page one of two ways:


    • On the SPX landing page, click on the Submit Works to the 2023 Ignatz Awards icon.
    • Go directly to the Ignatz submission landing page here.


    NOTE: The submission forms will not be active until Saturday April 1.

    CHANGES TO THE SUBMISSION PROCESS


    1. Starting this year, everyone will submit their works to one and only of the following mutually exclusive categories:


    • Outstanding Minicomic
    • Outstanding Graphic Novel
    • Outstanding Anthology
    • Outstanding Collection
    • Outstanding Comic
    • Outstanding Online Comic


    You can read the definitions of these categories on the About The Ignatz Awards page on our web site.


    2. For any of the above categories, you now have the option of uploading up to three 1MB photos of your printed works. With the advent of digital submissions, the judges can get a better feel for your work in terms of production values by showing them a few photographs.


    3. All works submitted to the above categories can also be submitted to the remaining categories of Outstanding Story, Outstanding Series, Outstanding Artist and Promising New Talent.


    4. You will be asked for two new pieces of information for the above categories: the dimensions of your book/comic and the number of pages.

    UPLOADING PDF FILES

    We ask that everybody take a look at compressing large PDF files. Here is the information from Adobe . We request you do so if indeed the Adobe compression does not impact the reading experience of your work. If you can do this, it will decrease the amount of time you will spend during the the upload process.


    We also recommend splitting large (over 100MB PDF's) into two, as shown here on the Adobe site.


    Based on the experience of running virtual Ignatz Awards over the past two years, we are making this move to digital submissions permanent, as well as making a few important changes to the entire process:


    Here is other important PDF information:

    • Please send us PDFs only of no more than two 200meg files in size per submission
    • PDF file naming convention for Mini-comics, Comics, Series, Story, Artist, Promising New Talent, Collections and Graphic Novels is: CreatorLastName.CreatorFirstName.Comic_Title.IssueNumber (If needed).Publisher.PubMonthPubYear.pdf If there is no Issue Number, then do not put one in the file nameIf it is self published, put Self as the Publisher
    • PDF file naming convention for Anthologies is: EditorLastName.EditorFirstName.Comic_Title.Publisher.PubMonthPubYear.pdf

    COPIES FOR THE SPX COLLECTION AT THE LIBRARY OF CONGRESS


    In addition to the digital submission, you will be required to send us one physical copy so we can display the Ignatz noms at the show, as well as preserve your works for future generations in the SPX Collection at the Library of Congress:


    • Please mail the submission to Small Press Expo P.O. Box 5704 Bethesda, Maryland 20824
    • Physical copies are due at the PO box by August 5.
