In April we were delighted to welcome Dr. Stevie Suan to the department as one of our new Assistant Professors. On November 17, he presented his paper “Anime Out-of-Place: Towards a Transnational Approach to Analyzing Anime” at the international symposium “Theorizing Anime: Invention of Concepts and Conditions of Their Possibility,” held at Waseda University. If you’re interested in similar topics, please check out Dr. Suan’s 200-level class “Asian Popular Culture” and 300-level class “Media and Globalization.”
