This conference focuses on the role of “violence” within Latin American democratic contexts. The participants define “violence” broadly and address a wide array of issues by analyzing some of the following topics: environmentalism, drug trafficking, militarization, collective and public memory, political corruption, borders, popular culture, advocacy, migration, tourism, and many others. . . . . Violence, the intentional use of force to cause harm and, thus, the phenomenon democratic regimes attempt to eliminate, appears at odds with democracy. Yet, we continue to see violence exist within democratic contexts time and time again. The participants’ analysis of Latin American political culture provides visions into what the future may hold for democratic governance.. . . . Our participants represent universities from across Latin America, the United States, and Canada, showcasing concerns over the development of democracy and violence in the following transnational contexts: Argentina, Colombia, Mexico, Haiti, Brazil, El Salvador, Chile, Puerto Rico, Perú, the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, Ecuador, Jamaica, and Bolivia.. . . . The conference will feature panels and plenary talks by guest speakers then conclude with professionalization workshops (Friday morning). Workshops: Writing a Humanities Dissertation, Publishing an Academic Article, The Academic Job Market, Dissertation to Book. . . . Learn more: usf.to/CDVLA. . . .
