Hi, everyone. As president of the Northeast Popular Culture Association, 

I want to encourage you to submit a proposal for this year's NEPCA 

conference. The conference will be held on October 19 and 20, 2018 at 

Worcester State University in Worcester, MA. As you may already know, 

NEPCA is a highly collegial (and cost-efficient) organization that 

especially welcomes the participation of scholars early in their 

careers. Indeed, nearly half of the presenters at last year's conference 

were graduate students.



More information about the 2018 conference at Worcester State is 

available at this address:



https://nepca.blog/2018-conference/



We are interested in receiving proposals for individual papers and 

pre-constituted panels on any aspect of popular culture. Please be aware 

that the deadline for proposals is coming up soon: *June 1, 2018*.



If you have any questions about the suitability of your proposed paper 

or panel for this conference, please visit the NEPCA Area Chairs webpage 

for more information. It's here: https://nepca.blog/nepca-area-chairs/



When you're ready, please submit your 250-word abstract via the Google 

Docs form at this address:



https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfV8Z8Q2BEcqlhd-9zFfJI1MWrVK03gbFAG7cxt_ta15eZPWw/viewform



N.b.: the above URL is rather long. If clicking on it doesn't work, 

please copy and paste it into another browser window and you should be 

all set. You may also access this Google Docs form via the 

nepca.blog/2018-conference webpage noted above.



Thanks for your consideration, and we hope to receive a proposal from 

you soon! Please feel free to contact me at [log in to unmask] if you 

have any questions.



all best,

Marty Norden
