NEPCA

NEPCA The Northeast Popular Culture/American Culture Association

Welcome to our Web Pages Who We Are -- Our Bylaws

The Northeast Popular Culture Association (NEPCA) is a regional affiliate of the American Culture Association and the Popular Culture Association. NEPCA is an association of scholars in New England and New York, organized in 1974 at the University of Rhode Island. We reorganized and incorporated in Boston in 1992. The purpose of this professional association is to encourage and assist research, publication, and teaching on popular culture and culture studies topics by scholars in the northeast region of the United States. By bringing together scholars from various disciplines, both academic and non-academic people, we foster interdisciplinary research and learning. We publish a newsletter twice per year and we hold an annual conference at which we present both the PETER C. ROLLINS BOOK AWARD and an annual prize.

Registration for our October Conference!

The 2010 NEPCA conference will take place October 23, 2010 at Massachusetts College of Pharmacy and Health Sciences, a member institution of the Colleges of the Fenway consortium. MCPHS is located in Boston, in the Longwood Medical Area, in close proximity to the Museum of Fine Arts and Fenway Park, with easy access to city businesses and restaurants.

Since 1974 NEPCA has invited scholars from New England and New York to be part of an expanding intellectual community. Our annual conferences strive to obtain a balance of graduate students, independent scholars, and full-time faculty members. They are designed to be nurturing conferences where works in progress share intellectual space with established scholarship. NEPCA conferences are also affordable for all.
