The 8th international Crossroads in Cultural Studies Conference will be held in Hong Kong June 17-21 2010. Hosted by Lingnan University, a distinctive liberal arts institution, and organized by its Dept of Cultural Studies and Kwan Fong Cultural Research & Development Programme, this is the first time this important academic gathering to be held in Asia Pacific. Below is the latest update:
- Extension of Proposal Submission Deadline – Due to the holidays and term break in many countries, many participants are still organizing their panels and proposals. To accommodate popular requests, we are now extending the submission deadline to Sat Feb 14th, 2010 (Chinese New Year Eve).
- Proposal Acceptance – Due to the large number of proposals received, it may take up to several weeks for the Academic Programme Sub-committee (APSC) to process the proposals. Please be patient. We strongly advise participants to submit their proposals as soon as possible, so that they will receive their letter of acceptance in time for funding arrangement, to catch the Early Bird Discount and the Special Student Rate which will end March 15th 2010. For submission guidelines, please see: http://www.crossroads2010.org/panel_and_paper_proposals.html
Normally we acknowledge receipt of proposal within 24 hours (other than weekends), and we notify the proposers as soon as their proposals are deliberated by the APSC. As the number of proposals are increasing rapidly, to avoid confusion and crashing our system, please do not enquire the status of your proposal unless you do not receive our acknowledgement after 3 days of submission.
- Interesting and Innovative Sessions Calling for Your Papers: We keep updating the proposal abstracts on the conference website. Please check out the latest abstracts
