Becky Palmer is a practitioner-researcher in the area of illustration and visual narrative.
An illustrator and author of comics and picture books, Becky's doctoral work focuses on the relationship between the two forms, and what we can learn about each from the attempt to combine them in practice.
Since then, a collaboration with Dr Francesca Cavallerio at Anglia Ruskin University has taken her research interests in the direction of Creative Non-Fiction, and the contributions that drawing can make to collecting data as well as communicating findings to audiences outside the academy.
