THE POPULAR CULTURE/AMERICAN CULTURE
ASSOCIATIONS NATIONAL MEETING, 2007
Boston Marriott Copley Place
Boston, Massachusetts
April 4-7, 2007
UPDATED Submission Deadline: 3 November 2006
Conference Information available at:

I encourage you to consider submitting a proposal
for the Television area. Our area was one of the
largest in terms of sections and number of papers
in Atlanta (the 2006 conference), and I see no reason
not to shoot for # 1 in Boston (there is no prize, however!).
Last year saw a significant number of papers dealing
with the reality TV phenomenon, and since the phenomenon
continues, I hope the papers will as well. I also hope that
some presenters will address the growing conservative/
fundamentalist media movement and that al Jazeera and
other international broadcasting will draw some attention,
along with papers on new or favorite subjects: Literature &
television, the resurgence of the television drama, the health
of the sitcom, the influence of fan forums on popular shows,
and other relevant topics.
I hope to see you in Boston!
