With its different formats – ranging from full papers to reviews, conference reports, and data papers – the journal fosters academic discussion across these disciplines, especially regarding methodological questions: Each issue will consist of double-blind peer-reviewed full papers, alongside with an editorially reviewed section consisting of data papers (data sets and complementary text), reviews, conference reports, and a “Method Lab” section with shorter papers and interviews that provide insight into work-in-progress, methodological challenges, as well as best practices.

The study and analysis of creative fan production (e.g., fanfiction, fanart, cosplay, etc.) is a cornerstone of fandom studies. These practices enable fans to assert a level of authorship over their favorite media – to reimagine, recontextualize, and reconceptualize their canons to better reflect their desires, wants, interests, and demands. They provide voice to individuals who cannot necessarily shape source texts directly (Vinney & Dill-Shackleford, 2018), allowing fans to carve out space for themselves within the pop-culture landscape that celebrates/embraces their identities. This is particularly poignant for marginalized fans.
By popular demand, PopCRN will be hosting a conference about Barbie, the popular culture phenomenon. The free, online event will be held on Wednesday 27th and Thursday 28th of March 2024.
This collection seeks essays on dinosaurs in film, literature, and the arts.

-Studies of specific films
-Studies of specific novels
-Studies of special effects renderings of dinosaurs
-Artwork with dinosaurs
Chapters will be due in April 2025. Chapters should be approximately 5,000 to 7,000 words, with Chicago-style endnotes and a bibliography page.
Russell Crowe’s talents were globally recognized in the early 2000s after he appeared in a slate of well-received films – L.A. Confidential, Gladiator, and A Beautiful Mind, among others – that earned him critical acclaim. Nevertheless, in the years following these productions, he has continued to be a part of numerous projects with international and creative appeal. Alongside his films are his associations with Roman soccer teams – established in Spera’s (2023) chapter in my recent volume on Gladiator (https://vernonpress.com/book/1213) – his social media presence, and his musical performances.

As audience interest in late-night talk shows and glossy print magazines dwindles, a group of internet-based series now provides celebrities the platform to promote their newest project and allegedly “reveal” more of themselves. These series use different techniques to produce revelatory moments tailor-made for social media circulation. First We Feast/Complex’s Hot Ones and Amelia Dimoldenberg’s Chicken Shop Date maximize cringe, whether by the guest’s physical pain generated by spicy wings or their interpersonal torment produced by Dimoldenberg’s awkward questioning.
