Crossings: Journal of Migration and Culture situates itself at the interface of Migration Studies and Cultural Studies. The terminology and key concepts in use in discourses on migration have yet to be sufficiently theorized or understood from theoretical perspectives linked to cultural studies, although migration is intrinsically linked to questions of culture. The course of cultures themselves at both local and global levels are crucially affected by migratory movements. In turn, culture itself is turned migrant. To name but a few relevant aspects of this juncture of migration and culture, questions of dislocation, travel, borders, diasporic identities, transnational contacts and cultures, cultural memory, the transmission of identity across generations, questions of hybridity and cultural difference, the material and oral histories of migration and the role of new technologies in bridging cultures and fostering cultural cross pollination will all be relevant. Methodologies of research will include both the study of texts and fieldwork. This journal s scope will be global, with a predominant focus on migration and culture from the latter half of the twentieth century to the present day. Apart from the inclusion of refereed articles, Crossings: Journal of Migration and Culture will include a section that may vary between extended review articles of films, music, photography, exhibitions or books on migration related topics, interviews with cultural practitioners who focus on migration related topics and oral histories of migrant cultural experiences.
