Dr. Keith Clifton presented a paper titled “I am so ordinary: Paula Cole and the 'Disruptive Diva' Post-Lilith” at the 2025 national conference of the Popular Culture Association (PCA). The conference was in New Orleans, LA, and he presented on April 17, 2025.

As the world's largest gathering of popular culture scholars, the conference was attended by over 2000 scholars, students, and admirers of pop culture. Dr. Clifton's paper is part of an ongoing series of projects related to the often-overlooked role of women in American popular music.

Congrats to you, Dr. Clifton, for sharing your findings and having this opportunity to present! We love to see what our faculty will do next! 🔥☝
