Blueprints

This section provides an outline of the current research and ideas I am pursuing.

Organising research activities, workshops and creative sessions at the Manga Library-Cafe. Here is some information about the innovative Manga Library:

Manga library-café

The Manga Library-Café was established in November 2002 as part of Monash University’s Japanese Studies Centre. This innovative space provides a unique environment for access to Japanese popular culture. The library is modelled on the Japanese Internet café and manga kissa (comics café), and offers a collection of over 5,000 Japanese manga and other related texts (magazines, novels etc) with café facilities and Internet access. This venture complements over twenty years of Japanese studies research and Japanese language education at the JSC, and offers students and the public an opportunity to experience the growing popularity of Japanese visual culture.

Opening Hours: 10am to 6pm Monday to Saturday.

Japanese Studies Centre, Building 54, Monash University, Wellington Road, Clayton, 3800 Victoria
