Hello all - Here is a short first announcement concerning a workshop -
UK, June 2000.
The workshop title is " Outdoors, place and space".
The main conference is held in Birmingham(university) UK and the field
is "Cultural Studies".
There have been few such workshops organised like this in the oAE world
generally although there are today many that write and research and work
with a cultural studies perspective. In this we might say that this
workshop is significant for some people. Those people that are
interested will receive more information as follows :-
1. See the web-site at http://www.crossroads-conference.org
2. Ask questions from this list and Barbara Humberstone and/or myself
will give more information.
3. e-mail to Birmingham direct <[log in to unmask]>
Barbara Humberstone and myself will give more information here as soon
as we have the final details in order.
Anybody wondering just what this workshop entails might first check out
the traditions of cultural studies. See the works, for example, of
Raymond Williams for good directions here.
Who might attend ( as presenters of themes/papers/discussions) ? Well
anybody that feels such an event is important for them and the work I
guess. Some papers will be presented and they will be discussed but
there is no need to give a special paper. Every attempt will be made to
open up this perspective for as many as possible who are interested.
Please watch this space.
best wishes
steve bowles
