**Spam**: [ecrea] Association for Cultural Studies - Summer Institute - 11-15 July 2011 - Ghent University

Wed Nov 03 16:12:43 GMT 2010



The Association for Cultural Studies (ACS) presents the inaugural *ACS Summer Institute* to be held from *11-15 July 2011* at the Department of Educational Studies of Ghent University in Belgium. The theme of the Summer Institute is *Critical Literacies.*

The traditional notions of literacy have been challenged by developments such as digitization, globalization and multiculturalism. During the Summer Institute we will question and discuss these challenges from a critical perspective, working at the intersection of cultural studies and education. We will expand the notion of a singular literacy to multiliteracies and focus on what this shift implies for media literacy, digital literacy, (cross)cultural literacy, academic literacy, corporal literacy, etc.

The Summer Institute will provide an intense and rewarding pedagogical experience for postgraduate students and postdoctoral researchers who will have the opportunity to spend the week learning from lectures and seminars delivered by 4 to 5 keynote speakers and a faculty staff of leading cultural studies scholars from around the world. The following keynote speakers have been confirmed: *Carol Stabile *(University of Oregon, USA)*- Ted Striphas *(Indiana University, USA)*- John Willinsky *(Stanford University, USA).

The Summer Institute will be held in the tradition of the Crossroads conferences, bringing together people from a wide range of disciplines to explore what it means to conduct cultural studies. We therefore encourage participation from researchers who work in disciplines such as cultural studies, cultural anthropology, film studies, media studies, literary theory and criticism, discourse analysis, new literacy studies, educational studies, rhetorical criticism etc.

Those interested in participating are invited to take notice of the above mentioned dates. Practical information about registration and a full list of Summer Institute keynotes and faculty will be disseminated in due course.

The _Association of Cultural Studies <http://www.cultstud.org/>_ is the premiere international association of cultural studies and hosts the biennial Crossroads in Cultural Studies Conference. Starting with Ghent in 2011, the ACS intends to host a biennial Summer Institute.
