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.
