CALL FOR PAPERS/TOPICS!
Now accepting submissions and ideas for the third annual Pop Culture Colloquium at DePaul University in Chicago!
The Media and Cinema Studies program, along with the College of Digital Media, the English Department, and American Studies, at DePaul University is hosting a one-day celebratory colloquium in honor the tenth anniversary of the television series Supernatural on Saturday, May 09, from 9am-6pm. This event will feature roundtable discussions from scholars and fans of Supernatural, speaking about the cultural impact of the show, as well as analyzing aspects of the episodes. 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. Speakers will have 5 minutes or so to present and then will engage in a discussion about the show. “A Celebration of Supernatural” 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. For more information, please sign up for updates on Facebook (search “A Celebration of Supernatural”) and click here to register on Eventbrite. We hope that you will be able to join in the discussion and celebration!
