CFP: Afro-Latin@s Now Strategies for Visibility & ActionThe afrolatin@ forum invites proposals for “Afro-Latin@s Now: Strategies for
Visibility & Action” a conference to be held November 3-5, 2011 in New York
City. The three-day international conference will gather scholars, community
leaders and artists to advance a dialogue on issues of importance to Black
Latin@s in the United States as well as foster positive relations between Latin@s,
African Americans and other peoples of color. Recognizing that studies of
Afro-Latin@s are multidisciplinary, we seek proposals for papers, panels,
performances (music or theater), film, and graphic art from any branch of
Afro-Latin@ studies. The goal of the conference will be to promote dialogue and
mutual understanding amongst and between Afro-Latin@s, the broader Latin@ and
African American populations, and the general public including other peoples of
color. We aim to expand and solidify the widening network of educators and
activists working on related themes, and to begin defining the key educational
and policy issues that bear on the recognition and empowerment of this largely
overlooked and underserved population. The afrolatin@ forum, as an institution
founded in New York City, is proud to partner with the Schomburg Center for
Research in Black Culture, The Center for the Humanities of the Graduate Center
of the City University of New York, El Museo del Barrio, and the W.E.B.Du Bois
Institute for African and African American Research in presenting this
conference.
