The Health, Humanities, and Popular Culture Area is excited to receive proposals for the 2022 Popular Culture and American Culture Association Conference in Seattle, Washington. Proposal topics should fall within the realm of how health is represented in popular culture through the humanities lens (movies, music, theater, television, books, art, comics, etc…).. Proposals should be 250-300 words and exhibit a clear connection between health/body and popular/American culture. Submission from current paid members will be accepted through the PCA website.
