A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. (Ah, yoof!)….
I was interviewed by Gregory Gransden on Mexican Comic Books for his 2002 Historietas documentary. Shared with Greg’s kind permission. I don’t share this without some embarrassment, but hey, it bears witness of what we were up to in the early days of the millennium, and proves in a way my interest in comics is not necessarily “new”… ;-)
By the way, this clip is from the time Jessica Abel was living in Mexico City and working on La Perdida. And ‘me’ (or a character based in me) and that same t-shirt I have on the video feature in the graphic novel too…
That’s me in a panel from Jessica Abel’s graphic novel La Perdida (2001-2006)
My passion is creating opportunities for discovery, creativity and innovation. I am an advocate for enhanced access to information as a public good. I enjoy fostering engagement and openness, facilitating collaboration and mentoring.
My main focus is multi-disciplinary and involves practically and theoretically connecting the dots between varied, closely-related fields and topics: comics studies; human-computer interaction design, library and information science, digital humanities, scholarly communications, publishing studies, digital innovation and material culture, intellectual rights and open science, access, data and educational resources.
I love writing and spreading the word about the things I believe in. I love higher education and the Internet and I define myself as a digital scholarship advocate. I love working collaboratively and on my own. You can still follow me and/or contact me via Twitter @ernestopriego.
