Each spring, the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Duke University Consortium in Latin American and Caribbean Studies sponsors an academic conference inviting Duke and UNC graduate students, faculty, and national and international visiting scholars to participate.

This year the conference will be dedicated to the varieties of epistemologies by which the possibility of change–past and present–insinuated itself in the popular imagination in Latin America and the Caribbean.  Attention will be given principally to the politics of knowledge in shaping of popular sensibilities through aesthetic production–including poetry, the plastic arts, music, dance, and literary forms–historical knowledge, ideological formulations, and political theory, among others, as phenomena shaped both within national and trans-national settings.

More details will be forthcoming.

You are all invited to join us. Please register (no fee)
