Research comics for science communication: Interview with Dr. Ulrike Hahn

Dr Ulrike Hahn is interviewed about her research in the field of climate-related visual art. In particular, her work currently involves turning the insights and studies of other researchers into research comics. In addition to Dr Hahn’s current research, the interview draws on how research comics can help to make academic claims credible on the one hand, and accessible to the wider public on the other hand through the portrayal of characters to whom the audience can relate. These multimodal factors contribute to the authority of both academic research and the comic format.
