Join us February 10-13, 2010 for our 31st Annual Meeting! The synergy many participants experienced during our gala anniversary meeting is being duplicated once again in the Land of Enchantment as we gather for our 31st Annual Meeting. This year we honor our Science Fiction & Fantasy area with special events, films, guests, and presentations hosted by the Hyatt Regency Hotel, Albuquerque, New Mexico. Founded by Dr. Peter C. Rollins in the 1970s, the Southwest/Texas PCA/ACA has sought to foster the interdisciplinary study of our region through its fascinating legacy of literary, historical, visual, and media images. Since then the organization, affiliated with the National Popular and American Culture Associations founded by Ray B. Browne, has grown to include a wide range of offerings bringing participants together from across the nation and internationally. A core value of the organization is the belief that understanding of national concerns begins with regional and local learning. We particularly invite scholars to share their perspectives on American life in the diverse region of the Southwest. To begin planning, a complete list of 2010 subject areas and area chair information will be posted on June 1, 2009 to this web site. Additional information including online registration, hotel, airline, local attractions, and available tours for the greater Albuquerque – Santa Fe, New Mexico area will be added as well. Bienvenido!
