A wonderful exhibition opening!

Stu Blair

I enjoyed connecting with language-teaching professionals at the Adelaide Comic and Toy Fair on October 2.

It was a great opportunity to showcase the influence of cognitive linguistics on comic books and music to the greater Adelaide community.

During the exhibition, I discussed using comic books as a communication medium in the second language classroom, along with excerpts from my research at Flinders University in Adelaide, South Australia, Brussels Comics Art Museum, and Musée Hergé in Belgium.

A big shoutout to my support crew for their assistance at the event!
