Few scholars of the Greater Caribbean have been more influential than Richard and Sally Price, whose best-known work began among the Saamaka Maroons of Suriname in the late 1960s and continues today, from Paris to Pernambuco. With dozens of publications spanning history, art history, anthropology, fiction, and musuem studies, plus a lifetime of pro-maroon political and legal activism, it is a great honor for us to host and celebrate the Prices with an event we're calling PriceFest.

This event, open to the Latinamericanist student community, will allow students to hear experiences and suggestions for planning and implementing a summer field research, followed by a Q&A. The four panelists, who are previous grantees, will share tips that helped them navigate the experience logistically, financially, and culturally.
We will discuss the personal and professional journeys of fieldworkers and qualitative female research scholars and how they balance safety, ethics, and representation when advancing their academic careers. Whether your most recent fieldwork will be this upcoming summer or was 20 years ago, we feel confident this discussion will be important to participate in.
This event is organized by the Latin American Graduate Organization (LAGO)

Drawing from her research on Black women’s histories in the U.S. and the Caribbean during the early 20th century, Dr. Royster examines themes of empire, identity, and Black internationalism.
Throughout the French empire, from the Atlantic and the Caribbean to West and North Africa, men, women, and children responded to enslavement, colonization, and oppression through acts of suicide.
