Welcome to the official blog of the Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Legend Area of the Northeast Popular Culture/American Culture Association (a.k.a. NEPCA), a regional affiliate of the Popular Culture Association and the American Culture Association. Hosted by The Virtual Society for the Study of Popular Culture and the Middle Ages, this site is designed both as a resource to potential presenters and as a gateway to furthering the study of these multi-media genres.
The 2012 meeting of NEPCA will convene at St. John Fisher College in Rochester, New York, from 26 to 27 October. The call for papers for the Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Legend Area is now available. Please consider submitting a proposal. Archive lists of past session can be accessed via the following links: 2010 and 2011.
