Each year, thousands of scholars from many academic disciplines across the globe travel to meet in a major American city to share and discuss their research at the conference in a number of venues: panel presentations, round- tables, special sessions, film screenings, local tours, keynote speaker events, special awards ceremonies, and other events. This year’s conference is held at the Wash- ington Marriott Wardman Park hotel in Washington, D.C., from April 17-20, 2019. The hotel is located next to the Metro, which allows easy access to downtown D.C. and its attractions, and is within walk- ing distance to Dupont Circle. The confer- ence schedule is available on the website with full details on each day’s offerings. I am excited about various special events that have been decided on and organized with the Washington, D.C., venue specifically in mind. First, I am honored to present this year’s PCA/ ACA Presidential award to White House correspondent April Ryan. Ms. Ryan is the only black female reporter covering urban issues from the White House since the Clinton Administration. She serves on the board of the White House Correspondents Association and is a member of the National Press Club. In addition to her daily work as a journalist, she frequently appears as a political analyst on CNN and many other tele- vision programs, including Anderson Cooper 360 and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. She is the author of The Presidency in Black and White (2015), At Mama’s Knee: Mothers and Race in Black and White (2016), and Under Fire: Reporting from the Front Lines of the Trump White House (2018). Ms. Ryan will be giving a conference keynote address, followed by a book signing. Please check the schedule for location and time. 5 Secondly, the Association will bestow the prestigious Ray and Pat Browne Award for Contributions to the Popular Arts to multi-award winning actor Doug Jones, who may indeed be the most famous per- son you may not recognize face to face—but you’ve definitely seen him as Abe Sapien in Hellboy; Pan and the Pale Man in Pan’s Labyrinth; the lead “Gentleman” in the famous “Hush” episode of television’s Buffy the Vampire Slayer; the “Amphibian Man” and romantic lead of The Shape of Water, winner of the 2017 Academy Award for Best Picture; and most recently Commander Saru in the CBS All Access series, Star Trek: Dis- covery. In additional to these well-known roles, he will also be speaking about his work in short films with a special purpose, including The But- terfly Circus and The Candy Shop. Please check the schedule for location and time. On a personal note, I also want to thank all of you for your support during the past two years while I have had the privilege of serving you as President of the Association. My term ends at the close of the Wash- ington, D.C., conference, at which time I will be handing the ceremonial gavel to Dr. Kathy Merlock Jackson as the new President. Under her leadership and that of our new Executive Director, Dr. Lynn Bartholome, the Association will continue to thrive. I want to thank these two ex- traordinary women, as well as the Governing Board of the Association and the rest of our hardworking former and current professional staff, for helping lead the Association into the future. I have been honored to work for the entire membership as your President and will always con- sider this service to be a personal and professional highlight of my life. On behalf of the Popular Culture Association/American Culture Associ- ation, I would like to thank all of you for your dedication and service not only to this organization, but the larger cause of the scholarly study of popular culture. I look forward to seeing you in Washington, D.C.!
