Since its inception in 1996 in Tampere, Finland, the *Crossroads in
Cultural Studies *Conference has filled a significant gap in the global
academic community. It is now *a key international conference in
cultural studies* where scholars from all five continents get together
regularly to exchange research outputs, critical viewpoints and
scholarly insights. Organized by the Association for Cultural Studies
(ACS) <http://www.cultstud.org/>, the Crossroads conference is held every
other year in different parts of the world: Birmingham in UK, Illinois in
USA, Istanbul in Turkey and Kingston in Jamaica.
