*Since its inception in 1996 in Tampere, Finland, the Crossroads in
Cultural
Studies Conference has played an important role in the creation of a
global
discussion about Cultural Studies. It has become a major international
conference where scholars from all five continents gather regularly to

year
in different parts of the world. Previous conferences have taken place
in
