This one-day conference endeavors to ignite a productive, interdisciplinary conversation among CUNY’s established and emerging scholars who are working in any field related to Latina/o (Latin@) Cultural Studies. Hosted by LaGuardia Community College-CUNY in Queens–home to one of the fastest growing and diverse Latina/o populations in the country–this conference aims to provide a space for scholars, students and community members to engage the broad range of Latina/o artistic and cultural production in New York City and across the Americas.

This landmark event will also feature a reading by writer Ernesto Quiñonez, CUNY alumnus and nationally recognized fiction writer, and remarks on the state of Latina/o Cultural Studies at CUNY by Suzanne Oboler, Professor of Latin American and Latina/o Studies at John Jay College. CUNY alumnus and playwright/director Carlos Serrano will be presenting a performance during the complimentary lunch for registered attendees provided by LaGuardia-CUNY.
