Early Modern (Dis)continuities: Iberian Colonialisms Across the Oceans

Early Modern (Dis)continuities will host a series of lectures and panel discussions with the aim of de-centering, reinterpreting, and recontextualizing common discourses around subjection, subalternity, marginalization, gender dynamics, and other markers that have been widely used to approach the diverse set of experiences, outlooks, and cultural productions of individuals living in Early Modern Iberian societies. With this one-day conference, we want to examine how scholarship produced in the field of Colonial Latin American Studies could transcend the geographical and historical boundaries that traditionally have defined the field; we aim to do this by establishing productive and diverse conversations between scholars working on different regions under Iberian rule or influence.

We will have three panels with professors and graduate students presenting their research on the Western Coast of Africa, the Andes, the Caribbean, Mexico, the Pacific Coast of Canada, Brazil, the Philippines, and Japan.
