Call for papers: The Diverse Impact of US Latinos
Dates: November 7-8, 2025 (Friday and Saturday)
Venue: Eötvös Loránd University, Faculty of Humanities (Trefort Garden), Building “R”, Frank Tibor Room, 3rd floor 356. (see on map)
The aim of the symposium is to draw the attention of Hungarian, Central European, and international scholars to the Latino community in the United States. Although the 60–65 million Latinos constitute 18–20% of the US population, and their cultural, political, and economic influence is growing both in the US and in their countries of origin, disciplinary boundaries make this group difficult to study and analyze for (North) Americanists and Latin Americanists alike.
Given this complexity, the conference is multidisciplinary and exploratory in nature and welcomes contributions from all those whose research topic relates to North American Studies, Latin American Studies, or to the past and present of Latino communities through historical, cultural, social, political and economic aspects specific to the United States and/or Latin America.
