<p>Dear CSAA Colleagues,<br>

<strong>8th Annual International Popular Culture Association of Australia and New Zealand (PopCAANZ) Conference,</strong> 28 – 30 June, 2017, Massey University, College of Creative Arts, Wellington, New Zealand.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Presentations on any aspect of religion and popular culture and race and whiteness and popular culture can be made to the Area Chair, Dr. Holly Randell-Moon at:
<a href="mailto:religion@popcaanz.com"><strong>religion@popcaanz.com</strong></a> and
<a href="mailto:raceandwhitestudies@popcaanz.com"><strong>raceandwhitestudies@popcaanz.com</strong></a>. The conference invites academics, professionals, cultural practitioners and those with a scholarly interest in popular culture to submit a 150 word abstract

<p><br>
</p>
<p>The Popular Culture Association of Australia and New Zealand (PopCAANZ) is devoted to the scholarly understanding of everyday cultures. It is concerned with the study of the social practices and the cultural meanings that are produced and are circulated
through the processes and practices of everyday life, as a product of consumption, an intellectual object of inquiry, and as an integral component of the dynamic forces that shape societies.
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>PopCAANZ will publish double-blind peer reviewed Conference Proceedings online following the conference, and presenters will be invited to submit suitable articles to our new journal from June 2016,
<em>The Journal of Asia-Pacific Pop Culture</em> (Penn State University Press). For Conference information see the Association’s website at: <a href="http://www.popcaanz.com/"><strong>www.popcaanz.com</strong></a> and the full CFP attached.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p>Holly.</p>
