Call for Papers - Northeast Popular Culture/American Culture Association
For about 5 years or so, I served as Chair for the Comics & Graphic Novels Panel for the Northeast Popular Culture/American Culture Association. This meant doing calls on different listservs for people (typically academics) interested in presenting their research on different elements of comics. Last year, I switched to chairing the Teaching Popular Culture panel which is focused on research on and overall approaches and strategies for teaching popular culture. So here is the latest call for our conference this October.
The NEPCA is a great conference to attend because it is local (for people in the northeast, that is), it's highly affordable, and it's a good opportunity to try out some ideas and perspectives with a friendly audience that will provide (respectful) feedback and questions. I highly recommend it for new faculty, part-time faculty, graduate and even undergraduate students.
NEPCA Fall Conference information, including the paper proposal form, can be found at
http://nepca.wordpress.com/fall-conference/. Please complete the form with abstract and send to the 2014 Program Chair Bob Hackey (rhackey@providence.edu) and to the appropriate Area Chair. For a complete list of area chairs, please visit the NEPCA web site:http://nepca.wordpress.com/fall-conference/nepca-area-chairs/. Both proposals for individual papers and complete panels will be considered. The deadline for proposals is Monday, June 9, 2014.
