Princeton-Rutgers Latin America & Caribbean Workshop

The Latin American & Caribbean Workshop is delighted to announce the fall semester schedule for the inaugural joint Latin American & Caribbean Workshop series, organized in partnership with graduate students at Rutgers University and Princeton University! This series is sponsored by Princeton Center for Collaborative History, Rutgers History Department, Princeton Program in Latin American Studies, and Rutgers Center for Latin America Studies. We hope this workshop series can help foster interdepartmental collaboration concerning the study of Latin American and Caribbean history. All sessions will discuss pre-circulated papers. The first two sessions of this semester will be hybrid, and the last one will be Zoom-only; however, we encourage everyone to attend in-person if possible!

All graduate students and faculty members are welcome to attend the following sessions:

• Friday, October 7: Josh Anthony, PhD student in History at Rutgers University, presenting “Remembering Acacitli’s War: Nahua Martial Identities and the Crisis of Spanish Peace in Early Colonial Mexico.” We will be meeting at 4:30 PM at Princeton University, 216 Burr Hall. Professor Camilla Townsend, Distinguished Professor of History at Rutgers University, has graciously agreed to serve as commentator for this session. Please reach out to the organizers for the paper, emails below.

Commentator TBD.
