<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">This conference intends to promote a conversation about cultural studies: its current shape, the forces that have shaped it, and
its possible futures. It will be a hybrid conference, with in-person and remote participation.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:red;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">Rather than assuming a singular proper form of cultural studies operating globally, the conference will try to balance the task of
recognizing the multiplicities of cultural studies with that of understanding the changing and increasingly contradictory place of cultural studies in the academic world. One might think of this as an effort to begin a cultural studies analysis of cultural
studies itself in the present conjuncture. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">This does not mean that we want to treat cultural studies as an isolated and purely academic object. Rather, we wish to find ways
of recognising and reckoning with the constitution and role of the university in cultural studies work today, in teaching, in employment practices, in research and in (scholarly) publishing.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">Consequently, we are keen to provide a space for people to step back from the specificities of their own research to take a broader
look at intellectual work in cultural studies, and at what is happening to it. We want to generate a conversation about cultural studies
<i>per se</i>. We welcome contributions from those who want to present their own work in ways which serve to open up the larger questions of the state of cultural studies. We want to explore the contextuality of cultural studies as a multifarious discipline,
its variations and affordances. We are interested in critically exploring the conditions of its various possibilities, impossibilities, and transformations with an eye to figuring out what works, what does not and why.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black;background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">As a whole, the conference aims at building critical perspectives to understand the institutional and political conditions of cultural
studies today. It will explore the cultural studies project in its practical and theoretical heterogeneity. Finally, it will work to imagine the possibility of a creative and productive future for the project.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">In order to promote conversation and collective thinking, we will not follow a traditional conference format. We have instead designed
a structure governed by three themes, each of which will be addressed on one of the conference’s three days. Each of these days will begin with an opening panel which identifies fundamental questions and struggles. These will be followed by further contributions
devoted to the theme broached in that panel. To avoid ending up with a <i>de facto</i> separation within the larger conversation of the whole, we will avoid parallel panels.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="background:white"><span style="font-family:"Garamond",serif;color:black;mso-fareast-language:EN-GB">Amongst those who have already agreed to participate are Lawrence Grossberg, Shakuntala Banaji and Jeremy Gilbert. We are particularly
keen to hear also from those at the start of or at an early stage in their scholarly work on cultural studies.
