Spring Symposium

A one-day symposium at Nichols College on Saturday, June 6th 2026.

​​

Join us for an engaging conversation and new format for a NEPCA gathering at at Nichols College!

​

NEPCA’s one-day, in-person symposium will strengthen our scholarly community and chart new directions in the study of popular culture. Our Area Chairs will begin by leading discussions of the current direction of scholarship within their areas, which will move us to consider subsequent methodological foundations and innovations within our field as well as publishing strategies and alternative methods of amplifying our work. The day will culminate in a collaborative focus on building networks and fostering connections across our Areas and beyond. The symposium is designed as a space for meaningful exchange in which emerging and established scholars can connect, share insights, and imagine new possibilities for collaboration.
