Conference to be held at the University of Gloucestershire, Cheltenham, UK, Monday 28th July 2003. See http://www.glos.ac.uk/arts/content.asp?rid=18 for full details.

This conference is aimed at those who teach cultural material as part of Anglophone Area studies programmes in the Higher Education sector (particularly American, Australian and Canadian Studies) as well as those involved in teaching elements of Anglophone cultures in Education, Film, History, Media/Media Communications, Human Geography, Postcolonial Studies and Sociology courses. The focus of the conference is on classroom practice.
