Aims and scope: Popular culture is at the heart of democratic citizenship. It serves as an engine driving technology, innovation, and information, as well as a methodological lens employed by the many fields that examine culture, often from an interdisciplinary perspective. Managed by The Midwest Popular Culture Association / American Culture Association (MPCA/ACA), The Popular Culture Studies Journal is an academic, refereed journal for scholars, academics, and students from the many disciplines that study America and American culture. The journal serves its membership and scholars globally who recognize and support its mission based on expanding the way we view popular culture as a fundamental component within the contemporary world. Topics covered: Based on analysis of the proceedings of the Midwest PCA/ACA and the national organization reveals that most popular culture scholars are interested in American-based: ● Film ● Music ● Television ● Sports ● Celebrity Culture ● Technology ● Literature ● Comics/Cartoons/Graphic Novels However, many scholars approach these topics from an interdisciplinary perspective, which adds significant value over single-issue or more focused/specialized journals.

Beginning at precisely 1100 EST, Washington National Cathedral’s bourdon bell will toll 21 times. It will be joined by bells in communities across the East Coast and will continue during the Eleventh Hour of the Eleventh Day of the Eleventh Month in each time zone of the United States. Participants include places of worship, schools, town halls, carillons, cemeteries, and local DAR, VFW and American Legion posts across the country. Additionally, all United States Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Coast Guard installations, as well as Naval and Coast Guard ships at port and at sea, will toll their bells at the Eleventh Hour of this day to honor those who wore the uniform one hundred years ago. To Inspire the Future by Remembering our Past One hundred years ago, bells from steeples perched all over the world rang out in relief and joy, sorrow and hope, at news of the great Armistice. The war was over, but the hard work of peace lay ahead. Families, homes, and cities lay in ruins.

  • 2021 Commencement Program
    Macalester College St. Paul, Minnesota The One Hundred and Thirty-Second COMMENCEMENT The Fifteenth of May Two Thousand and Twenty-One 1 MACALESTER COLLEGE In March 2021, Macalester College celebrated the 147th anniversary of its founding. The college received its charter from the State of Minnesota in 1874, and for the next several years its founders raised funds, hired faculty, planned courses, completed a classroom-office-residence building, and recruited students in preparation for Macalester’s opening in September 1885. The legacy of those founders—Presbyterian ministers and educators who strove for rigor and excellence—is a liberal arts college recognized for its academic excellence, its traditions of international and intercultural understanding, and its commitment to civic engagement. To carry out its educational mission, Macalester has assembled a distinguished faculty of 220 full-time and 70 part-time teachers and scholars who represent a broad array of disciplines in the natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, and fine arts. Macalester’s 2,009 full-time and 40 part-time students represent 50 states (and Washington, D.C.) in the United States and 95 other nations. Their academic achievements are numerous and impressive, as demonstrated by awards including 13 Rhodes Scholarships since 1904, and, in the last 10 years, 62 Fulbright Grants, 42 National Science Foundation Fellowships, 10 Thomas J. Watson Fellowships, four Truman Scholarships, four Goldwater Fellowships, one Beinecke Scholarship, and one Udall Scholarship. Macalester’s international emphasis is reflected in the fact that about 60 percent of its students study abroad for a semester or more during their college careers.

    Commencement SPRING SEMESTER 2020 THE GRADUATE SCHOOL May 9, 2020 National Anthem Alma Mater by Francis Scott Key by Fred Lewis Pattee O say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light, For the glory of old State, What so proudly we hailed at the twilight’s last gleaming; For her founders, strong and great, Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro’ the perilous fight, For the future that we wait, O’er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming? Raise the song, raise the song, And the rockets’ red glare, the bombs bursting in air Gave proof thro’ the night that our flag was still there. Sing our love and loyalty, O say, does that Star-Spangled Banner yet wave Sing our hopes that, bright and free, O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave! Rest, O Mother dear, with thee. All with thee, all with thee. When we stood at childhood’s gate, Shapeless in the hands of fate, Thou didst mold us, dear old State, Dear old State, dear old State. May no act of ours bring shame To one heart that loves thy name, May our lives but swell thy fame, Dear old State, dear old State!
