NEPCA's Annual Conference
The main activity which NEPCA
members share is the annual meeting. Normally this is a two-day
(Friday-Saturday) meeting, with scholarly papers, performances, readings, film
screenings, and wide-ranging discussions presented at up to 25 sessions
arranged thematically, but usually crossing narrow disciplinary boundaries.
Younger scholars, independent scholars, and graduate students often participate
as do folk artists, film makers, and creative scholars and performers. In
addition to formal sessions, members have ample time to converse informally
during coffee, luncheon, and receptions. There is also a book exhibit. Members
are encouraged to sample the variety of intellectual approaches and
perspectives which this interdisciplinary conference offers. Sessions last 90
minutes and are always followed by panel and audience discussion, facilitated
by the chairperson.
The best conference papers
are recommended for presentation at the national PCA and ACA conferences. The
best graduate student papers are considered for the NEPCA Prize.
