Schoolgirls and Mobilesuits 2012 and the Third Mechademia Conference

I will be presenting on Ôoku, manga, and history-writing at Schoolgirls and Mobilesuits 2012 in Minneapolis, MN next month and in Seoul, South Korea, at the Third Mechademia Conference at the end of November. Despite the very similar names (and the fact that both have a relationship to my journal Mechademia) these are in fact two different events, and I'm thrilled to be able to go to both of them. I hope to see you at either or both of them!
