"The University Now (and its Related Institutions of Interpretation)"
Panel at Fourth International Crossroads in Cultural Studies Conference
Tampere, Finland
June 29-July 2, 2002
http://www.crossroads2002.com/
As a category and a collection of U.S. social, cultural, and political
institutions, exactly what is "the university" currently
becoming? Why? How? Given the close and complex connection between this
and myriad other "institutions of interpretation," the implications of
these matters of course hold significance for all citizens. But they are
especially complicated and essential questions for graduate students
planning careers of various sorts, as well as for current junior and
senior faculty. This is partly because these questions are being
increasingly acknowledged as entangled with all of our exegetical work
in cultural studies, and perhaps in the contemporary humanities at
large. In other words, they are starting to look a lot like
"core" issues--rather than "just specialty" interests--for contemporary
cultural theory and history. Papers dealing with any and all related
topics are thus invited for participation in this panel; the more
theoretically and/or historiographically self-conscious and inventive, the
better. *Please send abstract and an abbreviated vita via email only, by
January 31 2002.*
