21st Century Studies
Published in conjunction with the Center for 21st Century Studies at the University of Wisconsin–Milwaukee, volumes in this series (formerly Theories of Contemporary Culture) are written by scholars affiliated with the Center or originate from its annual conferences. Founded in 1968 to foster cross-disciplinary research in the humanities, the Center has long been a leader in the study of modern and contemporary culture, including film, performance, the visual arts, and everyday life, as well as in critical reflection in such areas as feminism, media theory, multiculturalism, postcolonialism, cultural and social theory, and lesbian and gay studies.
