Crossroads Conference 2008

Even though – having gone to UWI myself – I definitely think that the sticky streets of downtown Kingston are a better place to understand the dynamics of Jamaican reggae and dancehall culture than some air-conditioned classrooms up at Mona, there´s no doubt a good reason to deal with the matter on an academic level.
On the first weekend of July, the Global Reggae Conference – number seven in a series of conferences on Caribbean cultural studies – took place on Mona campus. UWI TV has the videos of all keynotes.
I haven´t had the time to check them all myself, but from the titles, these are the ones most likely to be interesting:
- Reggae Music as Social Catalyst
- Serious Ting – The Structure of Jamaican Popular Music
- Plenary – Reggae in Japan and Australia
