TOPIC: 

Our first issue will focus on the special topic of "Universities 
as a Space of Resistance."  How might the space of the university offer 
alternatives to apparatuses of the State and the dominant culture and 
their prohibitive modes of knowledge production?  

Possibilities for articles:  Budget cuts and "downsizing" of the 
university.  What is at stake in the move to privatize education?  How can 
different disciplinary studies form communities of resistance with other 
disciplines?

Topic for issue two: "Neo-Imperialism, Nomadism, and the Future of 
Postcolonial Studies."

"Crossings" does not reflect or pursue any particular 
orthodoxy, but instead interrogates the orthodoxies of culture that 
students, professors, and university departments must confront 
today--prohibitive orthodoxies that not only encourage, to name just one 
example here, the massive privatization of educational institutions, but 
also seek to eradicate the independent and resistant essence of the 
student population.  We intend "Crossings" to be a journal that bears 
witness to the enabling possibilities of resistance.  "Crossings" invites 
articles form both students and professors from other universities who 
are concerned about these and similar issues.
