Co-authors Luce Beeckmans and Mary Elizabeth Hogan present the 📕 'Integration Otherwise Inspiration Kit' at the Imiscoe Civil Society Forum in Paris!

The toolkit invites us to move beyond the polarised debate on integration – one that either portrays newcomers as failing to integrate or blames society as insufficiently welcoming. Using a bottom-up approach, it offers a new perspective that highlights how integration is already taking place in everyday life.

Available in paperback and open access 🔓

💥💪 'Superhero Comics and Scottish Identity' explores the life and career of Glasgow-born, Eisner Award-winning, and internationally acclaimed Marvel, DC, and Image Comics artist Frank Quitely.

With a prolific career spanning more than three decades, Quitely played a pivotal role in the British superhero renaissance of the 1990s and 2000s and in the explosive emergence of the Scottish new wave of comics, a movement that included peers like Alan Grant, Mark Millar, and Grant Morrison, but has been underrepresented in both comics studies and Scottish studies.
