To help out my fellow pop culture scholars here is a list of open CFPs – calls for papers, calls for proposals, calls for abstracts, etc. – for publications and conferences that have crossed my path. If you have an open CFP that is pop culture studies related (film, TV, music, comics, games, books, etc.) that you’d like added to this list, shoot me an email. Text of CFPs are posted in my bi-weekly news updates.
