Registration is limited. We strongly advise participants to register

The Summer Institute will provide an intensive, extensive and
rewarding pedagogical experience for postgraduate students and
postdoctoral researchers who will have the opportunity to spend
the week discussing and learning from keynote presentations,
lectures, workshops and seminars delivered by 5 keynote
speakers and a faculty staff of leading cultural studies scholars
from around the world. The overall participatory and informal
character of the Summer Institute will give voice to the
participants by offering a forum to address issues related to
their own work specifically as well as issues of general interest.
In addition, social activities from receptions and meals to
informal gatherings will provide opportunity for participants,
lecturers and organizers to intermingle and stimulate further
conversation.
