- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 27 Feb, 2026 at 09:00 am – Sat, 28 Feb, 2026 at 05:00 pm
- **Event Description**: Critical and Creative Perspectives from and about Colombia, its Territories and Diaspora. This is a hybrid, bilingual conference.About this EventDespite being the third-most populous country in Latin America, comparatively few scholars in the United States study Colombia. Since 2010, the Colombian Studies Group (CSG), based in New York City, has brought together academics and researchers from various universities across the U.S. and around the world to create a community of scholars who share an interest in the study of Colombia from an inter-American and interdisciplinary perspective.For its 2026 conference, the CSG at the CUNY Graduate Center has invited scholars from across the United States and Colombia, and around the world, to critically and creatively engage with the diverse experiences of Colombians, past and present, within the national territory as well as the Colombian diaspora. Presentations span the academic disciplines—including the humanities, the social sciences, and the natural sciences.
