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), 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.
