April 22-23, 2021
The Latin American Studies Conference, “Study of the Americas,” fosters interest, knowledge, and understanding of the diverse peoples, processes, and histories shaping Latin America, the Caribbean, and the US Borderlands. This year we are dedicating our Conference to the topic of “Women in the Americas: Feminism, Diaspora, and Violence.” Envisioning women as an inclusive category that include transgender, gender fluid, and intersectional identities, this year’s conference will examine colonial/decolonial histories across places and temporalities that affect women, as well as more broader issues related to Latin America.
