Jessica Campbell is a Visiting Assistant Professor of Art History at Saint Norbert College in De Pere, Wisconsin. An interdisciplinary artist originally from British Columbia, she bridges academic scholarship with professional art practice. Her graphic novels including 'Rave' (2022) have been published by Drawn & Quarterly, and her visual art has been exhibited at major institutions including the Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago and Western Exhibitions.

Campbell's research explores:

• Gender politics and feminist critique of patriarchal structures
• Art historical narratives through contemporary lenses
• The impact of religious upbringing on identity formation
• Autobiographical storytelling through comics and visual media
• Intersections of personal trauma and collective memory

Her creative methodology involves transforming personal experiences into fiction to examine broader societal issues. She has discussed the challenges of balancing teaching responsibilities with artistic production, noting the different cognitive modes required for academic versus creative work.
