Joss Whedon: A Celebration
Joss Whedon: A Celebration
Now accepting submissions and ideas for the
second annual Pop Culture Colloquium at DePaul University in Chicago!
The Media and Cinema Studies program at
DePaul University is hosting a one-day celebratory colloquium in honor of the
work of Joss Whedon on Saturday, May 03, from 9-6. This event will feature roundtable
discussions from scholars and fans of Whedon, speaking about the cultural
impact of his work, as well as analyzing aspects of his television shows and
films. The even will also feature special guests, screenings, screenwriting
workshops, and (perhaps) a sing-a-long or two…
The audience for this event is both
graduate and undergraduate students, both fans and scholars, and the focus should
be on informed and enlightening discussion rather than formal academic papers. “Joss
Whedon: A Celebration” will take place on DePaul’s Loop campus.
If you’re interested in speaking on a round
table, please send a 200 word abstract of your topic and a CV or resume to Paul
Booth (pbooth@depaul.edu) by Mar 01.
Also please email with any questions. We hope that you will be able to join in
the discussion and celebration!
