The Center for InterAmerican Studies of Bielefeld University invites scholars to participate in the 7th International Postgraduate Forum that will take place at Bielefeld University from June 25 – 27, 2015.
This three-day conference addresses an international community of postgraduate and early-career researchers with perspectives from across the humanities and the social sciences. CIAS is characterized by a transdisciplinary approach and welcomes scholars from the fields of cultural, literary, and media studies; history and sociology; postcolonial and global studies, social anthropology, geography, and political sciences that have a focus on the Americas. Thereby the International Postgraduate Forum aims at exploring entanglements in their diachronic and/or synchronic dimensions and to contribute to a relational and historically grounded conception of hemispheric Area Studies in a global context.
The conference is integral part of the project “The Americas as Space of Entanglement”, funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF).
