The Southwest/Texas PCA have launched a British Cinema subject area: herewith the CFP for their next conference in Albuquerque. These are usually big conferences (four days starting at 8 am) with various themed subject areas. There's a very good chance of papers being accepted (i.e. I don't think they reject m/any). But they are jolly occasions.
Anyone who's interested, could you please reply to Rob Cross rather than to me? Thanks.
