We encourage the application of contemporary theoretical debates in
cultural studies,
discourse analysis, and post-colonialism to research on sexuality,
migrant and diasporic
identities, virtual identities and virtual citizenship.
Okay all you writing teachers and rhetoricians out there, I beseech you to
help me out here. Despite knowing what all the words means and being in
possesion of both an advanced degree from a pretigious university and the
experiences ofa peripatetic career of more than twenty years in and out of
academia, all I can think to say is, "The Emperor ain't wearing no
clothes!"

>edge theory to the contexts and sites of social change.

>innovation that problematizes the fixity of the social science categories

>journals which function as meeting places: informative communication media
>for researchers struggling to work across discipline borders.

>We are not seeking applications of theory but rather work on the frontiers

>everyday life and its positionality within its culture of origin.
