Bettina Egger
Researcher, comics author, illustrator
Currently I'm working as a Senior Scientist at the Paris-Lodron University of Salzburg. Prior to that, in 2021-22, I've been working as an assistant professor at the University of Alberta, Edmonton. As a scholar and practitioner, I’m working at the various intersections of comic art and comics-based research. My main fields of investigation are the mediation and representation of memory and ecology in the comics form. My work is strongly anchored in the field of independent publishing and draws inspiration from travels in Europe, Asia and Northern America. Up to now, I have published nine comics in French. I have a major interest for nonfiction. My last published work is 'Aramus', a documentary comic about an archaeological field survey in Armenia.
