THE DEADLINE HAS BEEN EXTENDED . . .

The University of Rhode Island Department of English Graduate Students
present the third annual conference on English Studies and the Uses of
Popular Culture.

The conference has been established to explore how the English academic
community uses popular culture to inform, understand, teach, and
articulate the literary canon, rhetorical studies, critical theory,
pedagogy, and the other fields comprising English studies. While the
conference is not a discussion of popular conference in itself, it does
deign to examine how popular culture can affect and has affected English
studies, and how those who study English incorporate notions arising out
of popular culture into their work. Papers could include, but are not
limited to, discussions of:

- film versions of literature
- uses of popular culture in a teaching environment
- examinations of the popular culture of any given literary era
- the filtering down of popular culture
- adaptations of popular culture
- music
- theology
- contemporary cultures
