Marston was one of the most interesting people to work in the early comic book industry. He was a professor of psychology fascinated by theories of dominance and s ubmission, a public intellectual, the self-styled "inventor of the lie det ector," and a practicing polyamorist. His fascinating life has even been the subject of a movie (Professor Marston and the Wonder Women, 2017). But how exactly did Marston’s “scientific” theories influence his Wo nder Woman comics, and with what literary, historical, and cultural implic ations? Addressing these questions requires the intellectual perspectives, methodologies, and curiosities of a wide range of disciplines from the hu manities, social sciences, and sciences. Professor Saunders, who is the fo under of the world’s first undergraduate minor in Comics Studies, will a dopt such an interdisciplinary focus in what promises to be a highly engag ing and relevant talk. \nEvent page: https://www.umassd.edu/events/cms/br idging-the-disciplines---wonder-woman-bondage-and-liberation.php X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
