The ACS Summer Institute will provide an intensive, extensive and 
rewarding pedagogical experience for postgraduate students and 
postdoctoral researchers who will have the opportunity to spend the week 
discussing and learning from keynote presentations, lectures, workshops 
and seminars delivered by 5 keynote speakers and a faculty staff of 
leading cultural studies scholars from around the world. The overall 
participatory and informal character of the Summer Institute will give 
voice to the participants by offering a forum to address issues related 
to their own work specifically as well as issues of general interest. In 
addition, social activities from receptions and meals to informal 
gatherings will provide opportunity for participants, lecturers and 
organizers to intermingle and stimulate further conversation.
