The one-day colloquium Caribbean Studies at Tulane: Today and Tomorrow looks to not only celebrate the breadth of knowledge and experience that our faculty and students have in and on the region, but also to meditate on what’s next for Caribbean Studies in general in academia, and more importantly on our campus. The colloquium will feature graduate student panels, a faculty roundtable, and a keynote from Professor L. Rosanne Adderley.
