DSA2022 Virtually@Hostos:
Tenth Biennial Dominican Studies Association Conference.
December 1–3, 2022
Theme:
Reencuentro: Dominican Diversity and Identities.
Research on the experience of people of Dominican ancestry—in Hispaniola and elsewhere in the world—has produced indispensable bodies of knowledge and critical perspectives in multiple disciplines both internationally and beyond the academy. On this 10th iteration of its biennial conference, the Dominican Studies Association (DSA) seeks to stimulate dialogue among scholars, artists, and activists across the world who are currently working on Dominican subjects. Papers should focus on the contributions distinctly made toward the greater awareness of the Dominican presence worldwide. All proponents of panels or papers should formulate their research questions in a manner that makes clear their link to Dominican studies.
We invite colleagues to share work underscoring the impact and aftermath of the health crisis, and we welcome work that could contribute to new insights into the current and post COVID-19 panorama. This year’s theme also presents us with the opportunity to engage critically in the intellectual assessment of the history, difficulties, impediments, empowering legacies, and the distinct contributions that Dominicans of all ancestries, phenotypes, class backgrounds, sexualities, religious beliefs, cultural heritage, and political ideology have made to society in their country of origin, the United States, and other parts of the world
Mission Statement
The Dominican Studies Association supports the diffusion of intellectual production by providing Dominican Studies scholars the opportunity to create supportive networks, cultivate alternative agendas beyond their respective institutions and address polemic issues impacting the homeland, local, and global Dominican diasporic communities.
