[Commlist] 13th biennial “Crossroads in Cultural Studies” CFP

https://www.crossroadslisbon2020.org/
DL extended 10 January 2020

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).

​

We hope that the Lisbon 2020 Crossroads will bring Cultural Studies 
scholars into inter- and cross-disciplinary and institutional dialogues 
through conference presentations, film screenings, exhibits, book 
launches and roundtables. Building also on existing research at 
CEAUL/ULICES within the scope of Cultural Studies, this event will 
contribute to the development of opportunities for networking and future 
research collaborations. Our goal is to provide a platform to promote 
the exchange of knowledge, research outputs and experiences, and 
encourage the creation of further links among scholars and practitioners.

SUBMIT A PAPER

2) Pre-organised sessions

The conference welcomes full session proposals that include a chair, 
three paper presenters and discussants (if desired). Session proposals 
may also contain four papers but must adjust the presentation time to 
fit within a 90-minute session.

Pre-organised panels/sessions may also be proposed. Proposals must also 
be submitted through our online platform. Only the corresponding author 
will need to create an account and should submit all details for all 
authors as follows:



The following information is required:

    name of all author/presenters,

    e-mail address of all author/presenters,

    name of associated institution for all author/presenters,

    session title in the “title” field; and

    a list of at least three presenters, paper titles, and abstracts in 
the order they should

    appear in the program (maximum total word count 600).



Session Organisers may ask the Organising Committee to arrange multiple 
sessions for a topic if they have at least six presenters. Proposed 
multiple sessions must be theme-based and titled rather than adding I, 
II, etc. to the same title. Each session must also have a different 
proposed chair.



Acceptance

The Organising Committee will issue a conditional acceptance of proposed 
individual papers and sessions by e-mail to the corresponding author. 
Upon completion of registration, the committee will issue a formal 
acceptance letter to registered participants and list it as “Confirmed” 
on the conference website.

All presenters (including all session organisers and participants) must 
be registered for the conference. An individual paper or session is 
considered “Proposed” rather than “Confirmed” if all its participants 
have not completed registration. The status of “Proposed” sessions or 
papers will be updated to “Confirmed” once all registration is 
completed. In cases where not all participants register, the Organising 
Committee may make arrangements to reorganise a session with other 
registered participants and may change the title of the session if 
necessary. If, for any reason, a Session Organiser is unable to follow 
through on the commitment of Organising a session, the Session Organiser 
should contact the Organising Committee immediately.
