This three-day conference addresses an international community
of postgraduate and early-career researchers with perspectives from
across the humanities and the social sciences. We aim at exploring
entanglements in their diachronic and/or synchronic dimensions and
to contribute to a relational and historically grounded thinking of
InterAmerican Area Studies.
