Join us on Wednesday, February 22nd at 6pm ET on CMU campus (Grand Posner Room 340) for Dr. Patrick Galbraith’s second lecture in Pittsburgh, "Erotic Comics in Japan: An Introduction to Eromanga." Dr. Galbraith will discuss Japanese freedom of expression, censorship, and Erotic Manga. He explores how increased visibility of a wide range of manga and anime, including erotic variants, has led to deepening suspicion, public outrage and calls for strengthening regulation, if not banning some content out right. Patrick W. Galbraith is a lecturer at Senshū University in Tokyo. He is the author of The Moe Manifesto: An Insider's Look at the Worlds of Manga, Anime, and Gaming, coauthor of AKB48, and coeditor of Idols and Celebrity in Japanese Media Culture.
