Mel Gibson
Mel Gibson, associate professor in childhood studies at Northumbria University (UK), has been working with children, young people and comics since the mid-1980s. Her Ph.D. about women readers’ memories of comics inspired her 2015 monograph Remembered Reading: Memory, Comics and Post-war Constructions of British Girlhood, published by the University of Leuven Press. Her research currently has several strands, firstly the British history of libraries and the comics medium, combining history and policy with autoethnography; secondly, gender in relation to both historical and contemporary graphic novels and comics; and, finally, contemporary readers’ responses to historical publications.
