Bringing Fans and Scholars Together
The DePaul Pop Culture Conference is an annual fan/academic event at DePaul University. We host thoughtful discussions from fans, scholars, and media makers from around the world to engage in conversation about popular culture and cult media. Each year's event is themed for an important Pop Culture moment.
The deadline for paper submission has ended, but you can get your tickets for the event here!
