Call for reviews:
 
Cultural Critique¹s commitment to cultural and intellectual debate and
discussion is bolstered by the regular inclusion of book reviews of
both new and not-so-new books. Generally, books reviewed will have
appeared within the past three years, although reviews of older books
that are emerging or re-emerging in intellectual debates are also welcome.
Moreover, Cultural Critique sees itself as having the responsibility to
devote space to authors that may not otherwise be reviewed in an
academic context. We especially encourage reviews of two or three
related academic book publications. For Cultural Critique¹s special issues,

 Feminism and Popular Culture

Keynote Speakers

The popular straddles disciplines, drawing together research that might otherwise remain discretely sited. This conference will interrogate how the popular and feminism has been understood, articulated and represented both in contemporary cultures and throughout history. Interdisciplinary in its approach, the conference will bring together scholars working in the arts, humanities and social sciences.
