Self-Writing in the Caribbean: An “I” for an “Eye”

• Speakers: Paloma Duong (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), Rafael Rojas (Centro de Investigación y Docencia Económicas, México), Ana Rodríguez Navas (Loyola University Chicago) Discussant: Rubén Gallo (Princeton University)
• Chair: Rodney Lebrón Rivera (G3, Spanish and Portuguese, Princeton University)
• Moderator: Rubens Riol (G1, Spanish and Portuguese, Princeton University)

Third panel of the Caribbean Studies Speakers Series (CSSS), which represents a collective effort to foreground Caribbean Studies at Princeton University by convening a group of scholars on the basis of their innovative research in and on the region. From experimental soundscapes and digital self-writing to archival pedagogies and emancipatory memory, the works of these pioneers cross academic disciplines, not to mention historical, linguistic, and national boundaries. At the same time, they provide novel insights into ever-present questions about citizenship and belonging, racialization and coloniality.
