[ecrea] Portal special issue on Italian cultural studies

Fri Feb 08 06:33:47 GMT 2008


Dear All


>>I circulated this CFO on various lists but I am 
>>a little concerned that I am receiving EOIs 
>>only from the usual suspects. I would really 
>>appreciate if you could circulate on cultural 
>>studies lists in your area, as I think voices 
>>from other places would make the issue much more interesting.
>>
>>Thank you very much
