Cultural Studies Conference

Tue, 16 Jan 1996 17:02:27 +0200
The upcoming Crossroads in Cultural Studies conference has
received an amazingly huge attention from cultural studies
people all over the world. Over 400 people from all continents
have sent their abstracts, and some 800 people have contacted
us! It is going to be a major and exciting event in
international cultural studies.
There is still room for papers in the programme, but the
deadline is nearing. The deadline for abstracts and
registration for the normal price is March 31, 1996.
If you are planning to attend the conference and want to give
a paper, just write a 100-word abstract and answer to the
questions in the enclosed reply form, and (preferably) e-mail
or mail them to the address below. When filling in the
registration form, you are asked to mark the number of the
session in which you wish to give your paper. However, if you
don't know where your paper would best fit in, just leave that
box blank. The organizers will take care of arranging the
papers in the best possible way into thematic wholes.
On behalf of the organizing committee, I heartily welcome you
to the Crossroads in Cultural Studies conference. I hope you
will enjoy the bright and warm midsummer days in Tampere.
Yours sincerely,
Pertti Alasuutari
