Cuba at the Crossroads is a symposium organized by the Latin American and Caribbean Studies
Program at Rollins College. We invite academics and researchers to submit proposals on themes
related to current domestic issues in Cuba,
Cuba/US relations, or Cuban foreign relations.
Research presentations can explore a wide range of topics that inform about the current state of Cuban society and analyze possible future transformations. We expect presentations to promote dialogue about the changing relationship between Cuba, the United States, and other nations.
The symposium will be held on Friday, February 10, 2017 at Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida.
Possible topics can include:
- Healthcare policy and practice
- Caribbean/Latin American perspectives
- Economic reform
- Cuba politics (domestic and foreign)
- Cubans living outside Cuba
- Civil society, state-society relations
- Human Rights
- Technology and cyberspace
- Tourism
- Fine Arts
- Literature
- Cinema
- Culture and Identity
- NGOs
- Business and Entrepreneurship
- Environment/biodiversity
We welcome other ideas!
Selected proposals on similar topics may be combined into a panel presentation.
The organizing committee invites you to submit proposals for 20-minute presentations that address the
symposium’s themes. Proposals in English are preferred, but ones in Spanish are also welcome.
Proposals should consist of a 300 word abstract and can be submitted online at
http://www.rollins.edu/cuba-symposium/
Deadline for submission – October 17, 2016.
Accepted proposals will be notified no later than November 15, 2016.
