At our conferences held yearly in Las Vegas, we welcome papers in these areas from interested scholars in all disciplines. This multidisciplinary approach makes for a lively exchange of ideas in a most collegial atmosphere. We are student friendly, as our graduate student participants can testify. FWPCA/ACA also sponsors the <a href="http://english.unlv.edu/pop_cult_review.html" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Popular Culture Review</span></a>, a lively forum for ideas. PCR, now in its 20th year of publication, is rigorously refereed and is published twice yearly: in Winter and Summer.<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><span style="font-size: 85%;">Cover concept and design by Australian artist & sculptor Laurens Tan.
