The organizers of the fall 2016 Northeast Popular/American Culture Association conference are seeking papers on popular and American culture, broadly construed, for its annual fall conference to be held on Friday, October 21 and Saturday, October 22, 2016, on the campus of Keene State College in Keene, NH. NEPCA prides itself on holding conferences that emphasize sharing ideas in a non-competitive and supportive environment. The conference welcomes proposals from graduate students, junior faculty, and senior scholars. NEPCA conferences offer intimate and nurturing sessions in which new ideas and works-in-progress can be aired, as well as completed projects.
