</div>
<div>This Intermezzo Symposium provides emerging cultural studies scholars a forum to interrogate and unpack the idea of ‘practice’ in its many guises. Through a series of presentations, workshops, and roundtable discussions, participants will discuss the emergence
of practice theory over the past decade, their own research practice and methodologies, and what it means to ‘practice’ or ‘do’ cultural studies.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Whether interested in presenting their own work, or simply coming along to find out about emerging research and meet fellow scholars, we welcome attendees from diverse research backgrounds.</div>
<div><br>
