2012 CALL FOR PAPERS: FIRST NOTICE

The Northeast Popular/American Culture Association (NEPCA) is seeking paper proposals in the area of Ethnic and Race Studies for its annual conference on Friday, October 26 and Saturday, October 27, 2012 at St. John Fisher College, Rochester, New York.

NEPCA conferences seek to be those where graduate students, junior faculty, independent researchers, and senior faculty convene as equals. NEPCA prides itself on offering intimate and nurturing sessions in which new ideas and works-in-progress can be aired, as well as completed projects. Papers are generally 15-20 minutes in length. NEPCA encourages creative delivery of papers, though they can also be read.

Both individual papers and complete panels will be considered. The deadline is June 1, 2012. Please send a 1-2 page proposal and a one-page vita to the Program Chair Tim Madigan (tmadigan@sjfc.edu) and to Sally Hirsh-Dickinson (shirshdickinson@rivier.edu), Area Chair for Ethnic and Race Studies.
