Almost Time to hit the PANIC BUTTON of INSPIRATION! 0 R. Nichols Dear Comm & Digital Culture Friends, Just a reminder that it is just about time to hit the "Motivational Panic" button of inspiration to submit your proposal for PCA 2025! Deadline is November 30 - so... yep. I'm including an ad you can share on your socials or in your groups, as well as the CFP below. Along with our normal Fall term crunches, we've had pretty big institutional changes in my "day job," so I'm right there with you if you feel challenged for time. Do your best and get your proposal in as soon as you can. I'm looking forward to hearing from you! --------------------CFP------------------------- “I’m not a Robot: Being Human in the Digital World” We are witnessing digital mediation of the human experience at an increasingly rapid pace. From communication to production, and from community to consumption, digital media has changed our human practices in both expansive and reductive ways; digital culture is shaping the human of the 21st-century. To use recent discourse around the usage of generative A.I. products as an example, how do machine learning technologies complicate human identification and interrupt human (pedagogical, economic, epistemic) processes? The Communication and Digital Culture Area of Popular Culture Association is seeking submissions for presentations dealing with the effects of digital media on “being human.” Topics for presentations and panels on “being human” might include: Autonomy, Creativity, Privacy, Community, Conflict, Ethics, Love, Trust, Art, Work, Intellectual Property, Skills, Vocation, Education, Laws, etc. ------------------------------------------------------- Out short link is www.bit.ly/PCA-2025

Holy Guacamole - What a Slate of Presentations! (and a little secret) 0 R. Nichols The response to our Area CFP has brought in what promises to produce one of Conference History's best sets of panels. Wait until you see the lineup of presentations. I'm genuinely impressed and excited, which is a lot to say for a professor amid end-of-term grading, committee work, etc. - but it's true. Wow. Thank you to all who submitted! The little secret is that the submission acceptance door didn't exactly slam shut. So... I wouldn't dawdle, but if another submission or two slipped in, I would probably give it a look. Word to the wise. Spread the word. Thanks again - those who submitted will have received my correspondence via email. If you have questions, let me know. I'm looking forward to hearing these great presentations in Chicago!

I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts and learning from you as we explore Identity in our digital world(s). Feel free to message me with questions or comments.

November is Here! Submit and Register! 0 R. Nichols Most of you are good academic colleagues who will submit a proposal this month. Just like I will. You know, because, grades, advising, research, class prep, committees, etc. It's cool. But keep in mind the deadline is November 30. Also, remember to save a little money via early bird registration before Dec. 31. Probably a good idea to reserve your room soon, too! Anyways, I'm glad you've joined our area group! I hope to see each of you in Chicago in the Spring. I look forward to reading your proposals. Would you pass along the news on your social media groups, network emails, etc. to any interested in research related to our CFP? You can use the attached graphic to promote our area's Call for Presentations. Happy November! Randy D. Nichols

Help spread the word! 0 R. Nichols Would you share our CFP with colleagues who are interested in research related to our area? You can use a link to our Area Page - or this bitly link: https://bit.ly/PCA2024 I've also attached a simple graphic you can post of your social media pages along with that link above. BTW - how's everyone doing? It has been a wild ride at my University since we were together in San Antonio, but I'm still standing! Thanks all - look forward to seeing you in Chicago!
