Imagining Otherwise: Worldmaking in Progress
Presented by the NYU Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) and Center for Collaborative Indigenous Research with Communities and Lands (Center CIRCL). Co-sponsored by the Asian/Pacific/American Institute at NYU, Latinx Project at NYU, NYU Steinhardt Department of Applied Statistics, Social Science, and Humanities, and NYU Department of Media, Culture, and Communication.
Graduate Students from the NYU Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS) and NYU’s Center for Collaborative Indigenous Research with Communities and Lands (Center CIRCL) invite students from the tri-state area to join us for our 2026 Student Conference, Imagining Otherwise: Worldmaking in Progress.
Christina Sharpe’s In the Wake: On Blackness and Being, urges us to work towards living and ‘imagining otherwise’ as a vital and creative, everyday act of resistance to colonialism (Sharpe, 2016). Our one-day student conference, Imagining Otherwise: Worldmaking in Progress, takes up this call, building upon the traditions of Black, Indigenous, and scholars who theorize and write into a future-oriented, radical imagination of other worlds and alternative formations of co-existence. The conference invites advanced undergraduate students, graduate students and postdoctoral researchers in any field or discipline to come together, re-imagine and re-orient our relations and existence in the world, while daring to Imagine Otherwise.
This conference will take place at NYU. Location details to be provided.
