Descrição
2026 SLAS CONFERENCE - University of Leeds. 9-10 April 2026. Memory Studies and Social Justice.
“Memory is both compass and companion—guiding us through histories of erasure toward futures of justice.” Cara Levey
The Society for Latin American Studies (SLAS) warmly invites proposals for its 2026 Annual Conference, themed Memory Studies and Social Justice. Building on Cara Levey’s groundbreaking exploration of how collective memory shapes struggles for equity, this gathering will probe memory as a site of healing, contestation, and transformation across Latin America and its diasporas. We invite contributions taking these ideas as a point of departure for fresh analyses, creative interventions, and cross-disciplinary dialogue, as well as any other topics from the field of Latin American Studies. Contributions are encouraged from: early-career and established scholars in the arts, humanities, and social sciences; activists, artists, archivists, and practitioners working at the nexus of memory and justice; and interdisciplinary teams pairing academic research with creative or advocacy-based methods. Submissions may take the form of individual papers, panels, roundtables, workshops, or performance-based interventions.
