About
“Superman! Champion of the oppressed. The physical marvel who had sworn to devote his existence to helping those in need.” Superheroes were born in the 1930s, a time of great poverty and social unease. Social justice are at their roots – from Superman fighting slum landlords, racists and nazis to the every-mutant outsiders of the X-Men. Superheroes have been saving the world for nearly ninety-years. Join us for a conversation on superheroes, ethics, identity (secret or otherwise) and social justice with comedian, writer, presenter and mental health activist Juliette Burton and freelance journalist, author and academic specialising in Film & Comics Danny Graydon, founder of The Superhero Project. Juliette Burton is an award-winning comedian, writer, presenter, mental health activist and journalist. She is an ambassador for mental health charity ReThink Mental Illness, regular writer for research charity MQ Mental Health and close supporter of Chasing the Stigma, MindOut, Mermaids, Black
