Meeting Description:

XXII Graduate Colloquium of Iberian and Latin American Languages and Cultures

“Borders, Borderlands, and Border Crossings”

The graduate students of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at the University of Texas at Austin are pleased to announce the XXII Graduate Colloquium to be held on March 24-26, 2016. We understand borders, in the broadest sense, as spaces where the intent to delineate, to define, and to exclude lives alongside​ with transgressions, inclusions, and amalgamations. As areas of interaction at the edges of empires, world systems and nations, they are sites for transnational and cross-cultural relations. Borders are spaces richly theorized but also always open to (re)definition and (re)imagination. 

Keynote Speakers: 

Glenn A. Martínez, The Ohio State University and
Fernando Arenas, The University of Michigan
Special Invited Speakers: Celeste De Luna, Painter and Printmaker, South Texas College and
Sandra Lorenzano, Writer and Vicerrector, Universidad del Claustro de Sor Juana
