MAPACA’s membership is comprised of college and university faculty, independent scholars and artists, and graduate and undergraduate students. MAPACA is an inclusive professional organization dedicated to the study of popular and American culture in all their multi-disciplinary manifestations. It is a regional division of the Popular Culture and American Culture Association, which, in the words of Popular Culture Association founder Ray Browne, is a “multi-disciplinary association interested in new approaches to the expressions, mass media and all other phenomena of everyday life.”

Reminder: Our 2021 Conference Will Be Virtual!

Our 2021 MAPACA Conference will be held entirely online! While we’re sad we won’t see everyone in person, this also means we don’t need to worry about travel and hotel costs or about COVID-19 infection and vaccination rates. As you’re working on your own submission for #MAPACA2021, tell your friends and colleagues who live in other parts of the United States and the world, or those who do not usually travel to conferences, that they should submit to the conference this year!

Keep an eye on upcoming newsletters for more information about the conference.
