We have a couple of upcoming Yuri or queer events of interest and I want you all to have time to register and join me virtually. ^_^

I’ll be at Anime Lockdown 2021 on July 10, 3:30 Eastern US Time for Yuri: How It Began – How It’s Going. I’ll be giving a brief history of the genre and talking about the exciting developments in Yuri over the past few years! This is my first Yuri panel since 2019!

I’m not presenting at this, but if you are interested in early Shojo Culture don’t miss the Japan Foundation Center for Global Partnership in NY’s No Friend to Girls: Kawabata Yasunari and Appropriation of Girls’ Culture with Deborah Shamoon and Melek Ortabasi. on July 15, from 8PM Eastern United States time.

I’ll be virtually joining HYPER JAPAN, in the UK on 26th July, 2021 at 16:00 BST (11:00 EDT, 00:00 JST) for their LBGT+ Japan panel.

If you’re going to be part of a panel or event, contact me so I can add it to our next news report!
