Tampere township in Finland was the host city for 450 international delegates attending the Association for Cultural Studies 10th Crossroads conference in Cultural Studies July 2014.
As part of the UTS Transforming Cultures and Friends posse presenting papers under the organising theme of Hometown, I presented a paper ‘Making up Hometown’ session entitled Where are you from?
The conference opened with a screening of John Akomfrah’s film The Stuart Hall Project after a heartfelt introduction reminding people that Stuart had a long association with the University of Tampere and many of his texts were published in Suomi/Finnish.
