The Shakespeare in Popular Culture Area is now accepting proposals for the Southwest Popular / American Culture Association’s 36th annual conference, which will be held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel and Conference Center in Albuquerque, NM. This year’s theme is “Many Faces, Many Voices: Intersecting Borders in Popular and American Culture.” We welcome proposals that engage with the overarching conference theme, as well as those that treat the convergence of Shakespeare, pop culture, and mediatization more broadly.
Potential topics might include: global Shakespeares; inter- and cross-cultural Shakespeares (and his contemporaries); Shakespearean auteurs; digital Shakespeares; screen Shakespeares; Shakespeare and the digital humanities; and postmodern Shakespeares.
Please submit a CV and 250 word proposal to conference2015.southwestpca.org by November 1, 2014. Inquiries may be directed to Area Chair Jessica Maerz at
Details about the conference, including information about conference travel and graduate student awards, and Dialogue, SWPACA’s new journal, can be found at www.southwestpca.org.
