Conference Announcement and First Call for Papers for
Crossroads 2006 in Istanbul

We are pleased to announce that the Sixth International Crossroads in 
Cultural
Studies Conference, the official meeting of The Association for Cultural
Studies, will be held in Istanbul, sponsored by Istanbul Bilgi 
University, 20-23
July 2006.

For millennia Istanbul has been a natural crossroads at which radically
different types of cultural experience have found a space to coexist and
interact. Correspondingly, rather than having a specific theme, 
Crossroads 2006
will aspire to construct an intellectual space for the international 
cultural
studies community to meet, to give voice to different cultural 
orientations and
researches, and to motivate each other for further reflection.

We encourage scholars from all countries and disciplines to contribute 
to the
shaping of the conference program with individual session proposals 
extending
over a wide range of topics and addressing not only issues that concern the
practice of cultural studies, but also the current conditions, local, 
regional
and global, of both aggression and domination, and cooperation and 
resistance.
We also encourage individual paper submissions on any topic within the broad
purview of cultural studies.

Detailed information concerning participation, conference structure, 
travel and
accommodations will be available from August 1, 2005 on the official 
website of
the conference: www.crossroads2006.org and on the website of The 
Association for
Cultural Studies: www.cultstud.org. We will also be announcing a broad
representative line-up of keynote speakers and invite suggestions.
