As popular culture establishes itself as a new collective mythos, it also continues to gain validity as a field of study. Popular culture often inserts itself into the classroom, generating conversations, serving as ways for students and teachers to connect and convey concepts, and fueling areas of media literacy and the "new literacies" by providing common material for students and teachers to
analyze, critique, and create.
This issue of AEQ seeks both theoretical and practical insights into the ways in which popular culture works in a variety of educational settings. Pieces may deal with what popular culture is and the ways in which it addresses topics of curricular interest, current attention to technological advances, and globalization.
