Since the collapse of the Roman Empire, the languages of the former have evolved, transformed, and spread across the globe. The Romance languages and literatures diverged and reencountered each other, provoking cultural, linguistic, and literary changes and exchanges. These (r)evolutions continue into the present era and enrich our understanding of a shared past, present, and future. In order to enrich the academic conversation and establish connections, the objectives of this conference are:

– To foster dialogues and interdisciplinary approaches to Romance languages and literatures

– To showcase future scholars and create a forum for young scholars to converse across disciplines about trends in research and pedagogy

– To encourage the discussion of connections between Romance literatures and languages and between literary studies and linguistics

– To connect literary and linguistic research with other fields such as history, anthropology, philosophy, sociology, education, psychology, media studies, and the arts
