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