Graduate Student Conference

Between Absurdity & Possibility: Envisioning Liberation in an Age of Nonsense

A multi lingual and multi media experience with presentations, workshops and interactive projects in English, Spanish and Portuguese.

This conference is free and open to the public. Interdisciplinary in its nature, this conference aims to promote inventive discussions and intellectual re-conceptualizations that foster a novel approach to Latin American and Caribbean Studies. This conference is designed to showcase research that examines and challenges the presuppositions of the diverse social, political, cultural, economic, technological, and environmental themes present in the region. It may also serve as a space to reimagine the conventional narratives projected onto the region.
