Today’s discussion is with Dr. Catriona MacLeod, a Senior lecturer in French Studies at the University of London Institute in Paris. Her research interests concern women in French-language graphic novels (or bandes dessinées) and migration and trauma narratives in bandes dessinées and caricatures. She has published on these topics in a range of academic journals. In this conversation, we discuss her latest monograph on female representation in  bandes dessinées, entitled Invisible Presence: Drawing Women in French Comics.
