Crossroads in Cultural Studies 2022
The Association for Cultural Studies (ACS) and the University of Lisbon Centre for English Studies (CEAUL/ULICES) are delighted to announce that the Crossroads in Cultural Studies 2022 conference is finally happening – the conference will be held in an online format from November 17 to November 19, 2022.
The Crossroads in Cultural Studies conference, customary a biennial event, brings scholars together to engage with the past, present and future of cultural studies scholarship. The conference has played an important role in the creation of a global discussion of Cultural Studies. It has become a major international conference where scholars from all five continents gather regularly to exchange research, views, and insights. In 2020, the conference was initially planned to be held in Lisbon, Portugal, in July, but has been rescheduled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Crossroads in Cultural Studies 2022 is co-organised by the Association for Cultural Studies (ACS) and the University of Lisbon Centre for English Studies (CEAUL/ULICES), at the School of Arts and Humanities of the University of Lisbon. It is the first online installment of the conference.
We welcome participants whose proposals have been accepted for the 2020 conference as well as non-presenting attendees.
Dates: 17-19 November, 2022
Venue: Online on Zoom

Attention: Crossroads Conference postponed to 2022
The Board of the ACS and the organizing committee have decided to postpone the next Crossroads to 2022, with the new dates yet to be determined, in view of the developments concerning COVID-19.
We thank all of you who sent paper and panel proposals, and we are very sorry that this may cause inconvenience to any of you already set to attend, but we are facing extremely unusual circumstances that demand our closest attention to how things are developing, also having in mind the safety of all.

Crossroads 2020 in Lisbon, Portugal (postponed)
The Association for Cultural Studies is delighted to announce that the next ACS Crossroads in Cultural Studies conference will be held in Lisbon, Portugal, from July 28 to 31, 2020, hosted by the School of Arts and Humanities of the University of Lisbon. The 13th Crossroads in Cultural Studies conference is co-organised by the Association for Cultural Studies (ACS) and the University of English Centre for English Studies (ULICES/CEAUL).
The Crossroads in Cultural Studies Conference has played an important role in fostering the global exchange of Cultural Studies scholarship. It has become a major international conference where scholars from all five continents gather regularly to share their research, critical views, and scholarly insights. Organized by ACS, the Crossroads conference is held every other year in different parts of the world. Previous conferences have taken place in Birmingham (UK), Urbana-Champaign (USA), Istanbul (Turkey), Kingston (Jamaica), Hong Kong (China), Paris (France), Tampere (Finland), Sydney (Australia) and Shanghai (China).
The 13th Crossroads in Cultural Studies conference will bring scholars together in Lisbon to engage with the past, present and future of cultural studies scholarship, as well as a vibrant cultural backdrop for the scholarly programme.
We hope that the Lisbon 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.
