Current Issue
The issue of the scholarly journal Culture Crossroads (Vol. 25) offers analysis on a wide range of topics, from mentoring in the cultural and creative industries to hate crimes as a cultural phenomenon, and from libraries in the modern world to the reflection of Britain's power in language and politics. The authors of the papers in this collection are not only Latvian researchers; almost half of the articles have been contributed by international scholars - Estonian, Irish and Spanish. The editors are particularly pleased to see new themes emerging in the content of the issue - authors write about community arts, multi-sensory accessibility in museums, the synergy of science and art in engaging audiences - thus broadening the interdisciplinary scope of the journal and the reader's experience.
