Japanese Anime Industry – Virtual Panel Discussion

Join Kennesaw State University’s (KSU) Division of Global Affairs’ first Consular Connections Virtual Panel Discussion on Thursday, October 21st from 11:00AM-12:00PM. These series of events were created to give the Greater Atlanta community the opportunity to learn more about different countries and world topics from global Ambassadors appointed in the United States.

The Japanese Anime Industry – which includes movies, TV shows, and merchandise – has a market of over $24 billion and has grown consistently in popularity for the last few decades. Esteemed guest speaker and Consul General of Japan in Atlanta, Kazuyuki Takeuchi, will share his perspectives on this leading industry and how it has impacted our world economically and socially. KSU faculty member, Dr. Amber Hutchins, will also sit on the panel and share her thoughts on the topic.

Students will also have a unique opportunity to meet and converse with the Consul General of Japan during the “Youth Conversation Session” from 1:00PM-2:00PM. Register for this event using the same registration link. Please note that ONLY students are able to attend the Youth Conversation session.
