Hosted by the School of Arts and Humanities, University of Lisbon, and the University of Lisbon Centre for English Studies (CEAUL/ULICES), the 13th biennial “Crossroads in Cultural Studies” Conference will bring scholars together in Lisbon, Portugal to engage with the past, present and future of Cultural Studies scholarship. The conference will take place from 28 to 31 July 2020 in Lisbon, a unique city that will offer a vibrant cultural backdrop for the scholarly programme.

The Crossroads in Cultural Studies Conference has played an important role in the creation of a global discussion on Cultural Studies. It has become a major international conference where scholars from all five continents gather regularly to exchange views and insights on current research. Co-organised by the CEAUL/ULICES and the Association for Cultural Studies (ACS) in 2020, the Crossroads conference is held every other year in different parts of the world. Previous conferences have taken place in Birmingham (United Kingdom), Urbana-Champaign (USA), Istanbul (Turkey), Kingston (Jamaica), Hong Kong (China), Paris (France), Tampere (Finland), Sydney (Australia) and Shanghai (China).

Call for Papers

While the research of our invited keynotes and plenary speakers mostly gravitates around the issues of labour and precarities, decolonizing knowledge and the refugee “crisis” in the Mediterranean, the conference is open to all topics relevant to Cultural Studies.

Submission of individual paper proposals or pre-organised session proposals for a full panel are welcome.

ACS assistance scheme for Crossroads 2020

The Association for Cultural Studies will offer a small number of grants to assist participants from ACS under-represented regions with travel accommodation or registration expenses.
