Editor’s Preface

Welcome to Culture In Focus, Volume 4. This issue brings articles ranging from Clay Morton and David Janssen's discussion of the pro's and con's of moving an undergraduate conference online in "Innovation Through Adversity" to Safiye Çiftlikli's discussion of the relationship between student comprehension and reading among first year undergraduates.  Kaia Magnusen considers an artist's use of symbolism and its cultural resonance in “'Every step is hot animal longing only for Woman': Lust, Chauvinism, and the Influence of the Old Masters in Max Beckmann’s Adam and Eve Print .”  Rounding out the issue is an article by Ayse Tarhan, Mustafa İlkan and Mohammad Karimzadeh on the use of information technology in literary analysis, an essay discussing best practices in online student support by Sandy Callaway, two book reviews by Ayşe Kalyon and some poetry translations from German  by Troy Spier.

So there you have it,  more timely, well-informed forays into the leafy forests of cultural and educational studies: enjoy!
