We are delighted to have you here to participate and share in the 4thTransatlantic Dialogue hosted by the University of Luxembourg. That many of you travel long distances serves to remind us all just how important our work is. This year our theme is ‘Creating Human Bonds through Cultural Diplomacy'. Cultural diplomacy is our best hope of transmuting traditional prejudices into attitudes of understanding, tolerance and co-operation. Culture has the advantage of being a public good that all humans can share.
Call for papers: Participations. Journal of Audience and Reception Studies: Themed section on participatory approaches to Capitals of Culture. Editors of the themed section: Dr. Leila Jancovich, Leeds University, Dr. Louise Ejgod Hansen, Aarhus University and Professor Franco Bianchini, University of Hull.
