The Protest Issues and Actions section of the Popular Culture Association (PCA) seeks proposals for its annual paper sessions at the 2013 PCA Conference to be held in Washington D.C., March 27-30, 2013. Any disciplinary approach may be used to examine dissent, past or present, in a local, national, or international setting. Using a broad interpretation of dissent, papers may focus on works by specific writers or artists; the history of a specific movement, protest or action, as well as the rhetoric, politics, or sociology of specific protests. Past topics have included studies of protests by environmental, antiwar, gun rights, animal rights and gay rights groups; examinations of how marches, symbolic actions, dance, theater, poetry, music and art have played a role in protest, and protests in South Africa, Latin America, Europe and the United States.
