About
My name is Mélanie Proulx, and I am an interdisciplinary academic-artist. The hyphen between these two terms highlights how they represent parts of myself that are inextricably linked. My academic research informs my artistic practice; my artistic practice informs my academic research.
Being a queer, disabled comic artist and comics scholar, I love all forms of sequential art. However, my most recent passions include Quebecois bandes dessinées and graphic medicine. I am currently undertaking a creative writing certificate at the University of Toronto and am also a member of several professional writing organizations (SCBWI as well as the Quebec Writers’ Federation).
My background in English literature and composition has helped me win several awards including two Wynne Francis Awards (2018 and 2019) as well as a Judith Yaross Lee Publication Grant in humour studies (2020).
