The 3rd Graz/Puerto Rico International Conference on Human Rights from an Inter-American Perspective
The international conference “Camps, Belonging, and Abolition Democracy,” which is co-sponsored by the Center of Inter-American Studies (of the Graz School of Interdisciplinary Transnational Studies) at the University of Graz and the Institute of Caribbean Studies and the Department of English at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus, offers a forum for graduate students, scholars, writers, practitioners, human rights advocates, as well as formerly incarcerated people, to come together to consider the relationship between questions about belonging and the use of various types of camps and related sites of enclosure in conjunction with restrictions of rights and movement. Special attention will be given to the ways in which scholarly inquiry and creative work in the Humanities, Social Sciences, and legal studies can contribute to the formation of a productive framework that problematizes carceral technologies and assists in protecting human rights and liberties.
