Episode 37 - Ben Saunders, Professor of Comic Studies, University of Oregon
Professor Ben Saunders believes that reading comics makes you smarter. He founded and directs the Undergraduate Minor in Comics Studies at the University of Oregon, the first undergraduate minor of its kind in the world. He is the author of Desiring Donne: Poetry, Sexuality, Interpretation (Harvard, 2006)—and Do The Gods Wear Capes: Spirituality, Fantasy, and Superheroes (Continuum, 2011)—described as “the best critical work on the meaning and impact of super-heroes that has ever been written.”
He is also co-editor (with Charles Hatfield) of Comic Book Apocalypse: The Graphic World of Jack Kirby (IDW, 2015). Professor Saunders has spoken on comics-related topics at universities and conventions across the United States and internationally, and appears as an academic expert in the History Channel documentary, Superheroes Decoded.
He has also curated several exhibitions of original comic art, and recently served as Chief Curator for “Marvel: Universe of Super Heroes”—the largest and most comprehensive museum exhibition ever devoted to Marvel Comics. The show opened to record-breaking numbers at The Museum of Pop-Culture (MoPOP) in Seattle in 2018, and is currently touring throughout North America. So put on your cape, grab your shield, and suit up - let's geek out with Professor Ben Saunders…
