American Culture Association

To propose a new area of study be added to the annual conference, proposals must be submitted to the Mid-Atlantic Popular & American Culture Association’s Board one full year in advance of the annual conference. The proposal must include a copy of the proposed area chair’s CV, a description of the area, the rationale for the new area, a brief bibliography of key authors and titles published in this area, an assessment of the potential audience, and confirmation that the area chair has made him/herself familiar with the guidelines for area chairs. If accepted, the Mid-Atlantic Popular & American Culture Association will run new areas as “special topics” for three years, and then assess them to determine if they should be added to our permanent list of areas.
