Meeting Description:

The Department of Spanish and Portuguese at Georgetown University is pleased to announce the 9th annual Graduate Portuguese and Hispanic Symposium (GRAPHSY), welcoming proposals within the theme Herencia y Tradición: Looking back, Moving forward and encouraging research in the fields of Linguistics and Iberian and Latin American Literature/Culture. This year the conference provides a forum both for research that honors traditional frameworks of investigation and for research that breaks free from these customs to pursue a new perspective. GRAPHSY 2016’s theme will pay tribute to the academic heritage established by great minds of years past, but also examine how convention for convention’s sake can impede the progress of these fields.  We also invite proposals examining how herencia and tradición play a role in the literary movements and linguistic phenomena of today, with the goal of better understanding how our past plays a role in our present.
