Sarah Frederick Speaks at Anime Boston
Sarah Frederick organized a panel in the “Foundations of Anime” series of scholarly panels at the Anime Boston convention. She was joined by two Japanese studies graduate students from Harvard, Andrew Campana and Caitlin Casiello, and BU undergraduate Claire Pozniak (Political Science, 2015), to talk about various aspects of Japanese girls’ culture and same-sex love in anime and manga. Many BU students were in the audience, including several cosplayers dressed as anime characters. Anime Boston is the largest animation convention in the Northeast held in Boston every spring and attended by over 20,000 people.
