The Northeast Popular Culture/American Culture
Association (NEPCA) is a regional affiliate of the American Culture Association
and the Popular Culture Association. NEPCA is an association of scholars in New
England and New York, organized in 1974 at the University of Rhode Island. We
reorganized and incorporated in Boston in 1992. The purpose of this
professional association is to encourage and assist research, publication, and
teaching on popular culture and culture studies topics by scholars in the
northeast region of the United States. By bringing together scholars from
various disciplines, both academic and non-academic people, we foster
interdisciplinary research and learning. We publish a newsletter twice per year
and we hold an annual conference at which we present both the Peter C.
Rollins Book Award and an annual prize.
Membership in NEPCA is required for participation.
Annual dues are currently $30 for full-time faculty
and $15 for all other individuals.
