The
distinctive
opportunity
for
students
to
present
their
own
work
at
a
regional
or
national
conference
is
an
enriching
experience
for
undergraduates
in
many
BW
disciplines.
Recently,
three
BW
film
studies
students
and
Dr.
Molly
Swiger,
professor
and
chair
of
BW
Communication
Arts
and
Sciences,
traveled
to
Cincinnati
to
share
project
findings
with
scholars
and
other
attendees
at
the
2019
Midwest
Popular
Culture
Conference.
Why study pop culture? The Midwest Popular Culture Association/American Culture Association thrives on the belief that "popular culture is at the heart of democratic citizenship" and drives "technology, innovation and information."
