I am currently compiling a co-edited volume for the University Press of Kentucky examining voices of political dissent in popular culture. UPK is a peer reviewed, university press, and we have received initial acceptance for submitting detailed abstracts for this publication. My co-editor is Joseph Foy (editor of the forthcoming Homer Simpson Goes to Washington: American Politics through Popular Culture, University of Kentucky Press). Ideally, we are looking for a paper related to gender and popular culture that would fit into the broad theme of the book whose working title is The Revolution is Being Televised: Voices of Dissent in Popular Culture. The core argument that unifies the text is that there is a transformative power in elements of popular culture that enables voices of dissent to be expressed, become organized, and affect mainstream political discussion — transforming peripheral voices to voices of currency. We are broadly targeting the content of the book, predicting that the text will appeal to both academic and mainstream audiences. Your help is appreciated!”
