2. An Introduction to the History of Japanese Anime: Anime is a global phenomenon, a source of Japanese national pride, and a pastime for countless people around the world. In this course, we explore the origins of how pictures in Japanese visual art evolved into the modern form of anime and how this has influenced the national psyche. 4 consecutive weekly sessions (both in-person in Hamilton or available via Zoom). Begins Sat 21 Jan 2023, 4-6pm (NZ time). US time Zone equivalent: begins Fri 20 Jan 7-9pm Pacific, 10pm-12am Eastern. Check the course page for other time zone equivalents around the world.
