1 – 3 September 2021
Open to all
This year, the 42nd Association for Contemporary Iberian Studies (ACIS) conference is hosted by the School of Modern Languages at Cardiff University. It remains as a three-day event, and as customary, will comprise a selection of panels and keynote addresses. For the first time in the ACIS conference’s history, this year’s event will take place entirely online via Zoom to ensure safety and ease of participation for all delegates and speakers. The conference is open to all and for the first time is free of charge to register.
The Association holds an international, multidisciplinary conference in early September every year. The conference circulates between host universities in Spain, Portugal and the United Kingdom and papers and panels focus on nineteenth, twentieth and twenty-first century socio-cultural, economic, and political issues with a particular focus on the Iberian Peninsula and its relations with the wider Lusophone and Hispanic worlds. The atmosphere is a positive and supportive one and established academics, early career academics and postgraduates are all equally welcome.
Further information about the Association may be found on ACIS website.
