Biography

Amanda Kennell is the author of Alice in Japanese Wonderlands: Translation, Adaptation, Mediation (2023), which examines a wide variety of Japanese adaptations of Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland novels. Her research focuses on the modern media environment, with a particular emphasis of new technologies and the popular media that blanket the average person's daily life. Consequently, she is currently working on a book, Seeing Anime, aimed at helping viewers better understand the history and artistry of animation. She also crafts museum-style exhibits and co-hosts the Japanese Studies channel of the New Books Network of podcasts.
