Dear Popular Culture Scholars,
You may have heard that the PCA/ACA has a new website at www.pcaaca.org
<www.pcaaca.org/ <www.pcaaca.org/> > . The site has all the
information you need to attend the National PCA/ACA 2008 Conference, held
this year at the San Francisco Marriott, San Francisco, California, March 19
– 22, 2008.
As you know, the PCA/ACA paper topic areas are broad and diverse,
encompassing business, entertainment, fashion, gender, body images,
ethnography, technology, science fiction, and more. Political, historical,
literary—essentially all approaches are welcome. Subject areas and the area
chairs are listed at our new website on page
www.pcaaca.org/areas/areas.php
<www.pcaaca.org/areas/areas.php>
Deadline for abstract submissions is November 30, 2007—so you still have
time!
The conference this year is at the San Francisco Marriot, a five-star hotel
in the heart of downtown San Francisco near all the attractions that city
has to offer. We have negotiated a wonderful $139 per night—an incredible
deal for a hotel such as this. In addition, the Bay Area Rail Transportation
(BART) runs from the San Francisco Airport to within a block of the hotel
and costs about $5.15 one way—an inexpensive, easy, and quick trip downtown.
Also, don’t forget that the PCA/ACA Endowment offers travel fellowships for
graduate students and early-career faculty. For more information, go to
www.pcaaca.org/grant/overview.php
<www.pcaaca.org/grant/overview.php>
and follow the links.
To submit a proposal, for general information, and for specifics concerning
participation and registration look at page
www.pcaaca.org/conference/2008/index.php
<www.pcaaca.org/conference.../index.php>
simply follow the blue-printed links.
Rest assured that we will not overburden your inbox with emails—in fact,
this is our lone communication for the year—baring the unforeseen. If you
have questions or concerns, please email, telephone, or write us. The
website has administrators’ contact information at
www.pcaaca.org/contact.php <www.pcaaca.org/contact.php>
We hope to see you all at the Marriott in March!
Sincerely,
John Bratzel, Executive Director; and Delores Rauscher, Program Coordinator
