Calling all Popular Music fans and authors! A terrific opportunity to get involved with a new book series by @ManchesterUP
You probably just got a sketchy-looking email from "Group Internal Messaging" that might have been flagged as spam. You can open it! We're inviting you to a thing on Friday. I complained to the home office that it doesn't say SCMS on it. Please share with non-Twitter folks.

@scmsFaAS We are seeking papers & presentations related to all aspects of Soap Operas for BGSU's upcoming Soap Operas in Pop Culture Conference. The event is free & open to all! Please click below for more info! bgsu.edu/arts-and-scien…
