WELCOME
The PCA/ACA is a group of scholars and enthusiasts, who study the popular culture--writing, sharing, and publishing in the field. The PCA/ACA offers a venue to come together and share ideas and interests about the field or about a particular subject within the field.
The phrase Popular Culture is difficult to pin down. The web offers several definitions. Our organization's list of Subject Areas & Chairs shows the intricacies of the term's meaning. All of the Subject Areas, as diverse as they are, have as their focus one common denominator--the study of the mainstream culture or that which is popular with the masses.
To learn more about us, PCA/ACA welcomes you to explore this site. The site contains information about our history, mission, and goals. It's where you'll find travel grants to help pay for expenses incurred traveling to our National Conference--which is held once a year at a major U.S. city. Find here, too, information about our endowments grants and links to affiliated organizations. Click on the Subject Areas & Chairs menu at left for links to Calls for Papers for each Area.
We invite you to support this organization and help us fund our grants by donating to the endowments.
