The Race in Spain Symposium will be the first event of its kind in the USA, a two-day event focused on the experiences of racialized communities in Spain. Although the study of immigration in Spanish literature and culture has been an established field for the past two decades, approaches to cultural analyses of race, racialization and citizenship in Spain, in general, and the rich cultural production of racialized Spaniards, in particular, are only now attracting much deserved academic attention. The Race in Spain symposium will bring together undergraduates, graduate students and established scholars in conversation with two cultural producers -Lucía Mbomío and Rubén H. Bermúdez- in order to foster discussions about the past, present, and future of Spain as a multiracial nation.
Program details for this hybrid event can be found in the More Info Link.
Please RSVP in the Registration Link.
