The Northeast Popular Culture Association (NEPCA) Politics, Civic Life, and Pop Culture Area invites submissions for NEPCA’s annual conference to be held online from Thursday, October 9th, to Saturday, October 11th, 2025.

We encourage panel proposals as well as individual submissions.

Papers are generally 15–20 minutes in length. We also encourage works in progress, and informal presentations. 

This area considers the intersection of politics, civic life, and popular culture. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Political actions that involve pop culture, including banning or attacking elements of pop culture
  • Depictions of political people, elected officials, voting, political actions and protests, in pop culture
  • Documentary films, television series, or podcasts that focus on politics and civic actions
  • Music and performance that are political in nature
  • The art of political action and protest
  • Depictions of being a “good” citizen versus a “bad” citizen in pop culture
  • Politics, civic life, and pop culture as they intersect with pedagogy and research


The call will be open until July 15, 2025. 

If you have questions about this area, please reach out to the Politics, Civic Life, and Pop Culture Chair: Dana Gavin, Dutchess Community College, dana.gavin@sunydutchess.edu.
