It’s been a super busy week for me and there’s still a bit to go, so I just wanted to run down where you can and will see me talking about manga!
November 2021
I had a lovely talk with Ashley from the Shoujo & Tell podcast about the Rose of Versailles. Let me reiterate that working on this series has been one of the greatest honors of my life and I am always thrilled to talk about it. ^_^ Ashley was a lot of fun.
The American Library Association’s Graphic Novels and Comics Round Table sponsors the Manga in Libraries series of talks. We had an *amazing* panel that is online this week: Manga in Libraries: The LGBTQ+ Community, hosted by Jillian Rudes, where I got to talk with tremendous folks in manga publishing and libraries.
On Saturday, November 20 at 5:15pm at Anime NYC, I’ll be bringing the cool level down with GEEKS OUT panel, Serving Magical Person Realness. I’ll be at the con for a relatively short period of time, Saturday afternoon and evening, so drop by and say hi!
December 2021
Keep your calendars free on December 16 when I’ll be the joining in a Japan Foundation of NY conversation about The Power and Influence of Shoujo Manga. I’ll add the link for registration as soon as it goes live. I’m super excited about this one.
Catch me and James Welker in conversation at Casacon online on Discord, Friday December 17th, 8PM Eastern US time.
February 2022
In conjunction with Michigan State University, I will be facilitating a Japanese Pop Culture Transmedia Translation Workshop, with the most amazing line-up of Guest Speakers. This will have open registration but very limited spaces, so keep your eyes peeled for that. I’ll mostly be out of the way and letting the pros talk. I’m really looking forward to learning from everyone.
