Call

for Papers
The study of the historical ties between North
America and Spain is now, more than ever, of vital
importance for the Social Sciences and Humanities
Furthermore, the present and future of the peoples who inhabit these territories is
both marked and defined by their socio-economic ties. The emerging new cultural
cartographies cannot be studied or discussed outside the framework of these
connections.

The City College of New York - Division of Interdisciplinary Studies, the Instituto
Cervantes of New York, and the Instituto Franklin of the Universidad de Alcalá join
for the fourth year in organizing this conference through this call for papers in
different disciplines and areas of study with an emphasis on interdisciplinary
approaches to the historical links between Spain and North America. As always, the
primary aim of the conference is to provide a meeting place for academics and
professionals with an interest in other disciplines related to this subject as well as
to interact with other members within and outside their own disciplines in the
areas of Humanities and Social Sciences.

The conference is organized in sections with different focal points. The following
topics will be prioritized:
A. New Cultural Cartographies
B. Colonial Studies
C. Postcolonial Studies
D. Links in Education
E. Cultural Studies
F. International Relations
G. Economy and Labor / Corporations in the XXI century
H. Science and Technology
I. Military and Security Policy

Proposals for panels containing three lectures on the same topic are also welcome.
