“Asian and Asian American Popular Culture”
Popular Culture Review seeks to publish compelling, well-argued, and well-researched articles on a variety of topics related to popular culture, both contemporary and from earlier eras. While film, television, literature, and video games are common popular culture subjects, we wish to broaden the journal's exploration of popular culture as well. Examples might include regional popular cultures, popular culture and food, popular culture in previous decades or eras, popular culture and social media, popular culture and music, and the like.
Popular Culture Review comes out twice a year – in the summer and late winter. Our winter issue is a general issue open to all topics related to popular culture and the summer issue is a special issue focused on a particular topic.
Submissions for general issues are due by January 15th for consideration in that year's general issue and by June 10th for that year's special issue. Submissions undergo a rigorous peer review process.
