This year, we are excited to announce Dr. Nadia W-Charles as our keynote speaker, presenting:

 

 

Dr. W-Charles will provide a historical overview of race relations between Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Using case studies of similar geo-political interactions, the local paradox will be problematized and mythologized as a consequence of Black nationalism.
