Meeting Description:

The graduate students in the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at
Georgetown University would like to invite graduate students to send abstracts
for the Graduate Portuguese and Hispanic Symposium 2021 (GRAPHSY). The
conference will be held on February 18 and 19, 2021 through Georgetown
University’s online platform. Paper and poster presentations are welcome on a
wide range of topics within the fields of Hispanic linguistics and
literatures. This year our goal is to promote a dialogue on the effects of the
current global crisis on linguistics and literature, focusing our attention on
how to overcome this impact.

This year’s conference welcomes proposals within the theme of Academia:
cuarentena y crisis/quarentena e crise, encouraging the submission of a broad
range of research in the fields of Linguistics, and Iberian and Latin American
Literatures, and Cultures. GRAPHSY 2021 aims to shed light and discuss how the
social and sanitary global crisis has impacted academia in aspects such as
research, investigation, teaching, job market and its intersection with the
community. The conference invites scholars and students to join forces to
discuss and share alternatives and suggestions to overcome the 2020 crisis in
the academic setting.
N.B. We also welcome experimental or creative works about COVID-19 and/or
presentations loosely (or not) related to the current social and sanitary
global crisis
