The Annual Meeting of the CSA provides a forum for scholars, students, and other persons interested in Cultural Studies in all its diverse manifestations to exchange their work and ideas across disciplinary lines and institutional locations. This year’s conference will be held in downtown Portland, Oregon at University Place, a conference site managed by Portland State University. The conference will feature plenaries on post 9/11 America and the World; Asia, the Pacific Rim, and Capitalism; and Ethics and the Environment. The first of these will be a free and public event held on the PSU campus.
