Workshop Summaries for this summer’s International Association for the Study of Popular Romance conference are now available.
I’m attending, as an audience member–let me know if you’ll be there, and we can say hi!
I’m particularly interested in these papers:

–Sarah S. G. Frantz (Fayetteville State University): The Rapist Hero and the Female Imagination
–Jayashree Kamble (University of Minnesota): Temptation and the Big Apple: Bollywood romance goes West in Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna
