Colaborativo de Latinoamericanismos Emergentes desde la Academia (CLEA)
This graduate and professional group is interested in the political, cultural, and philosophical production and dissemination of discourses on or about Latin America. The aim of the collective is to establish avenues for dialogue, critical thinking, and a sense of community amongst graduate students, faculty, as well as scholars in other institutions whose point of convergence is their mutual interest in Latin America. As such, this group aims to critically engage with Latin America’s emergent literature, cultural productions and politics from a humanities perspective while at the same time inviting and encouraging inter- and transdisciplinary perspectives on the political and cultural issues that define Latin America’s history and its current and ongoing cultural and political transformations.
