Jennifer Nagtegaal
Jennifer Nagtegaal is a Ph.D. candidate in Hispanic studies at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. Jennifer’s research, funded by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (SSHRC), develops at the crossroads of cultural studies and contemporary Hispanic visual culture in the areas of comics studies and animation studies and sometimes at the intersection of both. This is the case in Jennifer’s monograph, Politically Animated: Non-Fiction Animation from the Hispanic World, which is forthcoming (2023) with University of Toronto Press. Jennifer has also published a number of essays on Hispanic comics and animation in high-ranking journals such as the Bulletin of Spanish Studies, Bulletin of Hispanic Studies and the Revista Canadiense de Estudios Hispánicos, as well as in edited volumes such as The Routledge Companion to Gender and Sexuality in Comic Book Studies (2020). Jennifer is currently working on her dissertation, titled ‘Comics, art, interaction: Exploring avant-garde in Spain and Latin America and beyond’.
