It is with great pleasure that we announce our XXI Lusophone and Hispanic Conference. Mark your calendars and join us for on April 27 & 28 at UCen in Flying A Conference Room.

This year's conference proposes a debate on fostering a more inclusive and diverse academia. We hope to foster a safe space and interdisciplinary discussion around the university and its practices.

While we are drafting our final program, we would like to share that our keynote speaker is Professor Jaime Alves from the Department of Black Studies at UC Santa Barbara. His presentation title is "Political Orphanage: Toward a deconstruction of ‘Latin America’ and its antiblack social geographies".

Professor Alves holds a Ph.D. in Social Anthropology from the University of Texas at Austin. Before coming to UCSB, he taught Cultural Anthropology and Latin American Politics at the College of Staten Island of the City University of New York and was a visiting professor in the Center for African Diaspora Studies at Universidad Icesi, in Colombia. He is the author of The Anti-Black City: Police Terror and Black Urban Life in Brazil (University of Minnesota Press, 2018). Professor Alves' current research focuses on the geographies of policing and black spatial insurgency in the urban margins of two Latin American cities. More specifically, he is interested in making ethnographically visible how black life is sustained and lived in the intersections of infrastructural violence, racialized policing practices, and broad urban security dynamics in Santiago de Cali (Colombia) and São Paulo (Brazil).
