Had the pleasure of talking about JAMS, anime studies, and librarianship on two amazing panels at AnimeNYC!
I'm so heartened to see so many opportunities for public scholarship emerging for professors and librarians at larger conventions - especially needed right now!

AnimeNYC Day 0 is a HUGE success!
Badge acquired, and managed to grab last minute tickets to a show!
"Death Becomes Her" was AMAZING!
It's also fun making small talk with folks and being able to say I'm here in NYC to talk about anime! I wish I could tell younger Billy the way his life would go!

Hello! I'm in this!
In 2019, I was a panicked graduate student wondering if I'd ever get anywhere at all researching anime.
In 2025, I'm a faculty member on a funded trip to Kyoto about to present my research on anime internationally.
Life is very good, I'm very grateful.

And HIS source for this case come SOLELY from letters by Florence Stoker to the British Society of Authors, and NO you cannot read them online - they are not digitized by the British Library, so we're getting accounts only from her perspective, which totally warps the entire case! 3/4

Everything we know about the Nosferatu Copyright Scandal - where Florence Stoker sued Prana Films out of existence, and every copy of Nosferatu was ordered to be burned - comes from ONE chapter, 25 pages, or Skal's book "Hollywood Gothic: The Tangled Web of Dracula from Novel to Stage to Screen" 2/4

I love seeing all the discussion around Nosferatu - and I just had my piece on it published in "Teaching the Vampire" two days ago!
What's fascinating about all the coverage of its copyright, is that it comes from one source (1/4)
