Afro-Latin American and Caribbean Studies

The Specialization and International Course in Afro-Latin American and Caribbean Studies is an intensive postgraduate training program that seeks to disseminate current research and debates on the history, trajectories, and social dynamics of the Afro-descendant population of Latin America and the Caribbean from critical decolonial, Afro-Latin American, Afro-Caribbean, and Afro-feminist perspectives. It also constitutes an academic, political, educational, and aesthetic space, as well as a platform for the creation of a collective within this field of study.

The keynote lectures – which will run from September 2019 to August 2020 in a virtual format – will address topics related to being Afro-descendant in Latin America and the Caribbean in the fields of history, philosophy, religion, the arts, law, gender relations, politics, violence and education, among others.

The general coordination will be in charge of Mara Viveros Vigoya (National University of Colombia), Nilma Gomes (Federal University of Minas Gerais, Brazil) and Rita Segato (University of Brasilia, Brazil – National University of San Martín, Argentina), with the academic coordination of Karina Bidaseca (National University of Buenos Aires, Argentina).

Registration remains open until September 15, 2019, and the accreditation and certification of the Specialization and the International Course will be carried out by the Latin American Council of Social Sciences (CLACSO).

To develop the foundations and purposes of the Specialization and the International Course “Afro-Latin American and Caribbean Studies”, CLACSO Radio interviewed the Argentine anthropologist and feminist Rita Segato.
