This year’s Latinx Literature and Culture session welcomes paper proposals centering on any aspect of Latinx literary studies, cultural studies, and film or media studies. Topics could include but are not limited to: the U.S./Mexico Borderlands, migrancy and the diaspora, Chicanx/Latinx Feminisms, Queer Latinidades, Translation Studies, Central American and Caribbean studies, Chicanx/Latinx Poetics, and anything else that may broadly fit under the umbrella of Latinx/Chicanx studies. We welcome proposals that maneuver through disciplinary boundaries and thoughtfully engage with a variety of artifacts (theatre, performance, popular culture, children’s literature, memoirs, and autobiographies). We also want to encourage Spanish-speaking and/or bilingual scholars to submit their proposals to this session. Finally, we also invite proposals that relate to the 2025 conference theme of “Palimpsests: Memory and Oblivion.”
