This conference aims to investigate, celebrate, and discuss marronage across the Caribbean and Latin America with an emphasis on maroon communities’ relationship to their environment amidst climate change and environmental inequities and injustice. It also investigates maroon heritage and how maroon communities keep memories and legacies alive through agricultural and aesthetic practices including rice cultivation as well as carving and other arts. Scholars, artists, and community members will come together to celebrate the incredible richness of the African diaspora in the Caribbean and Latin America and to discuss the safeguarding of its heritage.

Join us for an informal workshop on Monday 3/3 at 4:30 for collectively writing our bios for publications, conferences, and the website. I think it'd be good to hear from each other on how we approach this, and sometimes these more menial tasks are better spent in the company of colleagues, friends, and pizza. And as a bonus, if you finish and like your bio by the end, I can submit it to be uploaded to our department website.
If you can't make it, already have a bios, or otherwise would rather not attend, I will soon send out a Google Form developed by our wonderful GSO. Please feel free to submit a bios by Friday 3/14, and I will send that off for submission to the website as well.
Looking forward to seeing you in the conference room, LT1506, at 4:30 on Monday, 3/3!
