I'm studying Communication Design and I'd like to write (and a draw) a Comic Book/Graphic Novel about the experience of Schizophrenia as part of the course.
I studied Biomedical Science before and my dissertation was about schizophrenia susceptibility genes. I felt quite uncomfortable approaching this highly emotive subject in such a rational and clinical way, and without the consideration of the subjective experience or the social factors that affect it.
I'd really like to bridge some of the gaps between the scientific explanations, the subjective and emotional experiences and the economic, social political and perhaps even anthropological dimensions of the disease.
I was wondering if it would be possible to interview you over email?
