The PCA Dime Novels & Juvenile Series Books area coves two distinct but related areas of interest: juvenile series books of all types and eras, and the series books’ precursors: early popular publications for mass audiences of all ages (dime novels, nickel weeklies, story papers, etc.).

What should we do to achieve happiness? Get rich? Start a family?
Live a virtuous life? Become a star? Seek enlightenment? The answer
depends on when, where, and whom you ask. Our topic explores the role
culture and its products and institutions (e.g. popular arts, social and other
media, education) play in constructing and popularizing different ideas about
happiness and how best to pursue it. Ultimately, we are interested in how
and why certain ideas about happiness get to dominate.

The Tolkien Studies area reflects Tolkien scholarship's varied and multi-disciplinary nature. Scholars working with medieval, modern, or postmodern approaches to Tolkien's legendarium (including the posthumously published volumes) are welcome, as are scholars working on film and television adaptations, games, and fan communities and fan creations. A list of all the sessions offered by the area since 2014 can be found at: https://robinareid.substack.com/p/tolkien-studies-area-pcaaca
