We are pleased to announce that the 29th Conference of Spanish in the United States and 14th Conference on Spanish in Contact with Other Languages will be held on April 10-12, 2025, at the Downtown Campus of UTSA, in beautiful San Antonio, Texas. Our conference theme is Destabilizing borders: Transdisciplinary implications of Spanish in contact. 

While borders are generally treated as rigid divisions, they are often arbitrarily imposed on spaces, peoples, concepts, and fields of study. With this year’s conference theme, we invite you to explore and question borders in their many senses—borders between countries, human beings, and cultures; borders between named languages; and borders between academic disciplines, among others. We welcome transdisciplinary talks that scrutinize the porous or artificial nature of the borders that surround us, centering transfronterizo identities and translanguaging practices, with the goal of destabilizing the perceived rigidity of these boundaries.
