WORLDMAKING IN PROGRESS
WORLDMAKING IN PROGRESS
Graduate Students from the New York University (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 across NYC and 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.
OUR conference VALUES
OUR conference VALUES
This graduate student conference space is intentionally cultivated as an inclusive environment grounded in principles of equity, dignity, and mutual respect. We affirm and celebrate the full spectrum of human diversity and we recognize that knowledge production, scholarship, and innovation are strengthened by the presence of historically marginalized and underrepresented communities. Decolonial theories of change are not symbolic; they are foundational. We are committed to fostering an environment in which diverse individuals can participate fully, think critically, speak authentically, and engage rigorously without fear of exclusion erasure.
All who enter are invited to contribute to a culture of belonging, where respect is enacted, curiosity is encouraged, and care for one another is a shared responsibility. We ask each member of our conference community to uphold these commitments so that this space remains one in which all are not only welcomed, but affirmed and empowered.
You belong here.
