After finishing a study on everyday
ableism, a team of researchers at Massey University decided
to commission illustrator Toby Morris to present their
results as a comic strip.
The researchers have now
written a paper
about the creative collaboration. They point out
struggles, like balancing creative impact with staying true
to the data. However they say the comic helped make their
findings understandable to the general public, which in turn
helped drive social change.
