Dr Julia Round of the Faculty of Media and Communication has been awarded a 2024 Comics Education Kinnard Award for outstanding work with comics and education.
The Kinnard Awards are named in honour of pioneering queer cartoonist Rupert Kinnard. The brown, yellow and red represent Rupert’s iconic character the Brown Bomber. The awards were founded in 2022 and are presented by Laneha House, a family run small press from Breena Nuñez and Lawrence Lindell. Laneha House is built on the foundation of family, love of comics, zines and coffee. Projects include comics, graphic novels, art books, zines, music and cartoons.
The Kinnard Awards are an annual celebration of the community who make, contribute to and love comics. Each category honors 5 awardees. Dr Round was nominated for her work in comics education alongside international scholars such as Professor Charles Hatfield, Ana Merino, Lauren McCubbin and Paul Karasik.
