The Cultural Studies Association (U.S.) invites participation in its 3rd annual conference from all areas and on all topics of relevance to Cultural Studies. Please submit proposals to our website (web address shown below).

Topics may include but are not limited to literature, history, sociology, geography, anthropology, communications, popular culture, cultural theory, queer studies, critical race studies, feminist studies, postcolonial studies, media and film studies, material culture studies, performance and visual arts studies.

The conference this year will feature a plenary and stream of panels on the theme "Sex, Race and Globalization," as well as plenaries on "The Current Conjuncture" and "Media Activism." Through the Sex, Race and Globalization stream, we seek to explore the imbrication of sexuality, gender and race with economic, political and informational processes across local, regional, national and transnational scales. We welcome proposals for individual papers or fully constituted panels.

Please submit all proposals to our website by our deadline of December 15, 2004.

If you have any questions or concerns, please e-mail us at the e-mail address provided below.

This year the conference will also feature a series of seminars. Seminars are small-group (maximum 15 individuals) discussion sessions for which participants write brief "position papers" that are read and circulated prior to the conference. The list of seminars and instructions for signing up for seminars will be available on our website after October 22.
