Join us for the sixth “<a href="https://www.library.miami.edu/chc/new-directions-conference.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">New Directions in Cuban Studies</a>” conference in the Roberto C. Goizueta Pavilion at the University of Miami in Coral Gables, Florida. “New Directions” brings together advanced graduate students and emerging and early-career scholars from across disciplines to explore new approaches to the study of Cuba’s history, culture, politics, economy, and global connections. The conference offers an opportunity to engage with fresh research, diverse methodologies, and varying perspectives that deepen our understanding of Cuba and Cuban communities worldwide. The conference keynote address, “Getting Beyond the Balancing Act: Cuban Studies Then and Now,” will be delivered by Lillian Guerra, Ph.D., professor of Cuban and Caribbean history at the University of Florida and co-editor of the journal Cuban Studies. The author of five books, Guerra will draw on her recent scholarship and oral history interviews to reflect on the evolution of Cuban studies, the intellectual and political debates that have shaped the field, and the challenges and possibilities facing Cuba and Cuban communities worldwide at a time of profound uncertainty. “New Directions” is co-presented by the University of Miami’s Cuban Heritage Collection at the Libraries and the Program in Cuban Studies at the College of Arts and Sciences. <a href="https://www.goizuetafoundation.org/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">The Goizueta Foundation</a> generously funds this program. Additional support for the conference is provided by the University of Miami’s Wilbur L. and Jean L. Morrison Endowment for Cuban Studies and Emilio Bacardí Moreau Chair in Cuban and Cuban-American Studies. Please note that the conference will be bilingual, with presentations and discussions held in English and Spanish.
