Diversity, Diversidad, Diversidade: From Words to Actions

What does diversity mean in the context of studying and teaching Spanish and Portuguese? This keynote address will demonstrate how the culture and history of these languages are essential to the formation of an antiracist classroom and world language profession. We will celebrate the rich diversity of the Hispanic, Latinx, and Luso-Brazilian worlds. As we celebrate diversity, we must also interrogate our field. Let us join together to chart a dynamic cartography for inclusive excellence.
