*TRANSNATIONAL** HISPANIOLA III:*
*THEORIES INTO PRACTICES* PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI, OCTOBER 2015 *Colloquium Theme:* Transborder and binational relations between Haitian and the Dominican Republic have permeated throughout history. The legacies of the social, cultural, economic, and political realities shared by both societies and their diasporas have created promising spaces of dialogue. Political and economic elites in both countries have, for the most part, ignored and/or tried to suppress these expressions of commonality, in favor of more divisive political and socio-economic discourses. The goal of the previous Transnational Hispaniola (TH) conferences in Santo Domingo and in the United States was to use scholarship and creative expression to transform dominant paradigms in Dominican and Haitian knowledge production, political culture, and pedagogy that reproduce class exploitation, gender-based violence, and social exclusion on the basis of citizenship, sexuality, language, culture, phenotype, and ability. With this latest colloquium, Transnational Hispaniola III (THIII) seeks to foster intellectual and creative production while also making a deliverable contribution to the education and training of attendees, with special emphasis on the students and faculty at Haitian universities. First, this TH event will be a venue to connct scholars from across the island and beyond who might otherwise not have an opportunity to engage in constructive dialogue across linguistic and national borders on issues affecting the peoples of Hispaniola and their diasporas. Second, in the aftermath of the 2010 earthquake, several initiatives were working toward strengthening higher education in Haiti through educational exchanges, like the US Fulbright program, a Wenner-Gren Institutional Development Grant, and bilateral university collaborations. To support these projects while continuing to work in the spirit of previous TH conferences, the organizers will facilitate teaching modules as a basis of offering a *Certificate in Transnational Hispaniola Studies *to those Haitian professors and students who participate. Finally, we will have a series of workshops specifically for Haitian students and faculty. *Topics* The organizers are interested in submissions on any of the following topics: - Anthropological Methods and Theory - Haiti-DR Borderlands - Development and/or Non-governmental organizations - Tourism, Sex Work, Factories, Informal Economies, Markets, etc. - Education and/or Language and/or Linguistics and/or Literacy - Environmental Studies or Ecology - Gender and/or Sexuality - Human Rights - Land and/or agricultural production - Migration, mobility, and/or deportation - Race and Ethnicity - Religion - Research Design - Science and Technology - Social Movements - Urban planning - Technical workshops in art, poetry, music or other creative forms of expression The official languages of the conference are Krey?l, Spanish, and English.
