SEA MINI GRANT!!!

Continuing in the tradition of the First (Tucson, AZ, 2002) and Second (Providence, RI, 2004) Early Ibero/Anglo Americanist Summits, this event will bring together scholars of the early Americas working in various languages and disciplines in order to exchange questions, ideas, research and teaching methods, as well as to promote comparative perspectives and cross-disciplinary dialogue in the study of the early Americas. The thematic focus of this event will be on early American borderlands as a space of cultural, linguistic, and sexual encounters.

Keynotes:
  • Karen Kupperman (New York University)
  • José Rabasa (Harvard University)
  • Amy Turner Bushnell (Brown University)

The event will be co-sponsored by the Society of Early Americanists (SEA), Flagler College, the University of Maryland, the University of Kansas, Spain's Ministry of Culture Program of Cooperation with American Universities, and the St. Augustine Historical Society .
