This academic conference explores how popular culture and class are deeply connected. By highlighting the importance of class consciousness, we aim to spark meaningful conversations and practical ideas for change in and outside of the ‘ivory tower.’ Join us for two full days of conference presentations, roundtable discussions, and workshops. Featuring Invited Speakers Heather Andolina: “The Melungeons of Appalachia,” and Daniel Burnfin, “Social Classes and Social Ontology: Reconsidering Some Classics of Political Economy.” Free event online and in person.

Inspired by Ray Browne, the founder of Popular Culture Studies at BGSU, this conference seeks to give “education a broader base and greater richness” through the exploration of why and how popular culture and class are interconnected. A scholar and teacher who saw popular culture as a tool to bring together the working-class students and the elitism of academia to create a new curriculum, Browne’s legacy of inclusion and effecting change is at the heart of this year’s Class Con. As class studies are often niche, invisible, or non-existent within many cultural studies programs, we hope to draw attention to the discipline and the broader need for class consciousness. By understanding and breaking down the structures and systems that uphold our modern class structure, this conference aims to make meaningful change both in and outside of the academic ivory tower. Specifically, with this conference we hope to brainstorm, workshop, and develop a pedagogic approach to bringing class studies into the classroom while also giving a voice to the students most impacted by economic uncertainties. Free Event Online and in Person This event is supported by the Stoddard and O’Neill School of Critical and Cultural Studies Fund and by: BGSU University Libraries School of Cultural and Critical Studies Institute for the Study of Culture and Society Department of English Ray Browne Association (RBA)

The Bangladesh Student Association (BSA) at Bowling Green State University is organizing an Iftar Arrangement to bring together students, faculty, and staff in a warm and inclusive environment during Ramadan 2025. Ramadan is a sacred month observed by Muslims worldwide, marked by fasting from dawn to sunset, spiritual reflection, and communal gatherings.As international students, many of us are away from our families, making this event an opportunity to recreate the sense of home and togetherness that is central to Ramadan. Through this Iftar, we aim to share the cultural and religious significance of Ramadan, provide traditional Bangladeshi Iftar meals, and foster a sense of belonging and support within the BGSU community.The event will be open to all students, regardless of background or faith, encouraging cultural exchange, interfaith dialogue, and deeper connections among attendees. This gathering will not only help Bangladeshi and Muslim students observe their traditions but also serve as a platform to introduce the broader BGSU community to the spirit of Ramadan.We invite everyone to join us for an evening of community, shared experiences, and delicious food as we break our fast together.
