2019 Popular Culture MA Thesis Presentations—And Pizza! 

It’s Popular Culture Pizza Party! Join PCSA for a popular culture studies scholarship showcase—featuring the 2019 Popular Culture MA cohort. Each graduate student will present a twenty minute talk on their thesis scholarship. A brief ten minute Q&A segment will follow after each presentation.
