Research For Graphic Medicine Workshop - SAW & GMIC Graphic Medicine Summit 2025

What kind of research is involved in making a work of graphic medicine? How do you find the right sources? How do you know when you’ve gone deep enough, or when have you gone too deep? What is the right amount of research for you? Maureen Burdock will lead you through the visual, social, scientific and other kinds of research you might find yourself needing to do.

Maureen Burdock is a graphic novelist, creativity coach and illustrator. She is the author of Queen of Snails: A Graphic Memoir; Feminist Fables for the Twenty-First Century; and several shorter graphic narratives that have been featured in anthologies and journals. Her next book, Sleepless Planet: A Graphic Guide to Healing from Insomnia, will be released in November 2025.
