Opening the Black Box: Rethinking Scientific Discourse

Sociologist Patrice Corriveau and his colleagues spent 15 years suicide in Quebec across 250 years. To share their findings with the rigour and sensitivity the subject demands, the team partnered with illustrator Christian Quesnel to create a graphic novel: Vous avez détruit la beauté du monde: Le suicide scénarisé au Québec depuis 1763.

The project’s reception across artistic and scientific circles, as well as with the general public, shows that research must find new ways to meet its audience where it already is.
