The Southwest/Texas Popular Culture and American Culture Associations’ annual conference is one of the nation’s largest gatherings of interdisciplinary scholars. Panels are now forming for all of the SW/TX PCA/ACA individual subject areas, including the Television area.

The Television Area Chair invites interested scholars to submit papers on any aspect of television (current and past shows, content, television as a media format, the possible future of television, television effects or cultural impact, television and society, television artifacts and rituals, theories and criticism of television, the television business, etc.)

Scholars, teachers, professionals, and others interested in television are encouraged to participate. Graduate students are also particularly welcome, with award opportunities for best graduate papers. If you wish to form your own television-focused panel, I would be glad to help facilitate your needs. Please submit 100-200 word abstract or panel proposal with names of all participants by Dec 1 to the conference database http://conference2012.swtxpca.org. Abstract or Panel Proposal submission deadline: December 1, 2011
