CROSSROADS IN CULTURAL STUDIES
Fourth International Conference
June 29 July 2, 2002, Tampere, Finland
*************************************************************
FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PROPOSALS
After the extremely successful Crossroads 2000 in Birmingham, UK, our plan was to
continue the inte
rnational tour of the Crossroads conference site. Unfortunately, we did not manage to
get the next
conference organized either in Amsterdam or elsewhere. Therefore, the next
international biannual C
rossroads in Cultural Studies conference will again take place in Tampere, Finland,
where it first
started in 1996.
Speakers will include
Henry Giroux * Akhil Gupta * Anu Kantola * David Morley
Janet Wolff * Shunya Yoshimi * Ming-Bao Yue
The mission of the Crossroads conference is to provide an open forum for all topics
that interest t
he diverse international cultural studies community; to make contacts, exchange views
and gain insp
iration from each other. We encourage international participation from different
countries, discipl
ines and cultural backgrounds, and from a wide range of research areas. In that way,
the conference
will also show where cultural studies is going next.
To succeed in this, we especially encourage you to send us session proposals. You may
propose a ses
sion with a complete list of participants, or just send us the title and session
abstract, so peopl
e can see it advertised and contact you with their paper proposals. To learn more
about the Crossro
ads conference and how to participate, just visit our web site at
http://www.crossroads2002.com
On the Crossroads conference web page you can also join the crossroads2002 discussion
group, where
ideas about session themes can be exchanged and developed.
You are all warmly welcome to the Fourth International Crossroads in Cultural Studies
conference!
Best regards,
Pertti Alasuutari
Chair of the organizing committee
