Abstract

In a collaboration between lecturers and two postgraduate students, here the team tell the stories of this project within a project in our own images, using the comic book format to highlight both the process of using IMD to collect data, as well as to reflect upon the experiences of the students who conducted the research – the challenges they met during the process, their growth, and their discoveries about the research – and themselves.
