Taking about boycotting, I want to bring back the issue to anime studies for a minute. Back in 2019, I was offered to review "The Anime Boom" (2017) by Michal Daliot-Bul and Nissim Otmazgin. On page xii, it reads: "The research for this book was generously funded by the Israel Science Foundation."

In college, I'd always walk past an unremarkable store in Beijing that sold a variety of trendy, but tacky, toys. That store has turned into Pop Mart, the $45-billion Chinese toy empire behind Labubu, the biggest global fad of 2025.

This is my big story/pilgrimage trip to explain how they got here

On October 16th, we'll have a special online session in English, coordinated by Professor Euisol Jeong and in collaboration with Yonsei University. We'll post a registration form in a few days 😉

I'm a few days late, but we're finally finishing the in-person portion of the FEMCORDIG 2.0 workshops, which I was lucky enough to co-coordinate with @irismdelpino.bsky.social Many thanks to all who attended; we hope you enjoyed them!

Estamos preparando actividades muy interesantes, os animamos a participar 🥰

🚨 New Publication Alert! 🚨

Excited to share my latest article: When feminist awareness clashes with romance in games: a feminist reception study of otome gamers in China, now out in Chinese Journal of Communication! 📰

I spend a lot of time talking about all the things historical games do wrong when representing (or, mostly, not representing) women in the past - for a change, here I wrote about some games which I think do something better and more interesting in their depictions of historical women & girls!

#TWC32 is our special issue on Fandom and Politics, coedited by Ashley Hinck and Amber Davisson. They emphasize that "this special issue persuasively demonstrate[s] that the intersection of fandom and politics is not an unusual exception". Read the full issue here:

I have a new open access article out in Participations “Girlscape” themed issue! It was a lot of work to get it right but I’m so pleased with how it’s turned out and I can’t wait to read the other articles 🥰
