October 31 – November 2, 2024
Tucson, Arizona
The Southwest Seminar on Colonial Latin America invites proposals for its 2024 annual meeting to be held October 31 to November 2 in Tucson, Arizona. The Southwest Seminar is a collaborative effort among specialists from across the American Southwest dedicated to promoting innovative approaches and new research on the study of colonial Latin America. This year’s meeting will be hosted in the heart of the southwest in Tucson at the University of Arizona.
The Seminar’s annual meetings are conceived as welcoming and supportive venues to exchange ideas and to encourage collegiality among colonial Latin Americanists of varied backgrounds and diverse research interests. Interdisciplinary in nature, each meeting brings anthropologists, art historians, historians, ethno-musicologists, literary scholars, and specialists in a variety of disciplines to present new research on colonialism in all regions and periods in Latin America. The participants present works in progress, including dissertation chapters, articles in development, or pieces of larger works. Graduate students, junior faculty, and senior scholars are all welcome!
Officially housed at the University of Arizona, the Southwest Seminar brings together scholars and members from the following institutions: University of California, San Diego, Texas Christian University, Texas State University, University of Texas, El Paso, University of Texas, San Antonio, Utah Valley University, John Carter Brown Library at Brown University, and Omohundro Institute for Early American History and Culture at the College of William & Mary.
