DESCRIPTION:Faced with a past that seems to repeat itself ad infinitum\, th
 rough the dynamics of colonialism\, neocolonialism\, and neoliberalism\, we
  ask ourselves about the past\, present\, and future of Latin America and C
 aribbean. The slogan “Otro futuro es posible” –another future is possible– 
 has been appropriated in a wide array of spaces\, movements\, and temporali
 ties to trigger the imagination of many\, from political movements to envir
 onmental causes. This symposium is an invitation to explore this expression
  not as an enthusiastic affirmation but rather a question awaiting an answe
 r: is another future possible in Latin America and the Caribbean? Thinking 
 about and with categories such as encounters\, crossings\, (dis)continuitie
 s\, fractures and unions in space and time\, and the search for autonomy\, 
 we ask: how can we think about the future of the region? \n\n \n\nWith this
  in mind\, we invite the Cornell community to participate in the Latin Amer
 ican and Caribbean Studies program’s annual research symposium entitled “Fu
 tures in (Re)Construction”\, to take place on February 20th and 21st\, 2026
 . VENUE   In the midst of the current political sphere that especially affe
 cts Latin American and Caribbean communities and has sought to silence not 
 only their traditions\, heritage\, and languages but also the academic stud
 y of the land and the impacts of climate change in various communities\, we
  especially welcome abstracts for projects related to categories\, concepts
 \, and keywords that\, in the current political climate\, have been erased 
 and discarded\, such as gender\, race\, climate and environmental justice\,
  and cuir/queer.
