face="Californian FB" color=#800000 size=2>Community engagement and
collaborative partnerships are increasingly central to research agendas all over
the world. This Special Issue of <I>Cultural Studies Review</I> provides a
timely discussion of some challenges and difficulties raised by this kind of
intellectual work. The essays explore the opportunities that collaborative
projects provide for developing cultural studies as a practice not only
involving critique, but enabling a crucial shift from the study of culture to
the politics of cultures. Focussing on the real complexities faced by “engaged
research”, it also provides a fresh examination of current research trends both
in Australia and internationally. </FONT></P>

international research exchange between the Centre for Cultural Research (CCR)
at the University of Western Sydney (UWS) and the Department of Cultural Studies
at Lingnan University (LU) in Hong Kong - two institutions at the forefront of
developing cultural research as a new kind of interdisciplinary, collaborative
research practice that engages with industry and community groups or partners,
and thus involves concrete modes of action and intervention.</FONT></P>
