The graduate students of the Department of Spanish and Portuguese at UC Davis are pleased to announce the 16th Annual Samuel Armistead Colloquium. We welcome submissions from graduate and undergraduate students working in areas related to Hispanic or Luso-Brazilian Literatures, Cultures, Languages, Linguistics, and Cultural Studies that dialogue with this year’s theme on Digital Landscapes: Paths to Reparative Justice in a Technological World
Data collection, GPS systems, monitoring devices, AI weaponization, digital racism, gender and sexual-based electronnic violence, and the environmental impact of technology, are a few examples of how technological practices are often used as means to sustain and reproduce power structures. This colloquium is intended to identify, scrutinize, and challenge said structures. In addition, it aims to showcase the different ways in which the digital can, and/or has been reimagined to serve and shape fairer worlds.
