Tara McInerney
Tara McInerney is a visual storyteller and senior lecturer in comics and graphic novels at Teesside University. She specializes in manga, fan studies and LGBT studies, and her visual sequential work combines fiction with her academic interests. Most recently she has been testing the applications of the ‘self-insert’ in queer (or ‘slash’) fanfiction as a method for critical self-authorship of identity. She has exhibited internationally and is currently working on a feature-length documentary examining Japanese doujinshi culture. She studied at Cardiff School of Art and Design and earned a master’s degree in visual communication from the Royal College of Art, London.
