This Symposium will offer a meeting point to facilitate the exchange of critical ideas and (inter)disciplinary proposals on the present and future of Galician Studies in North American academia. \nOverview\nAt a time when scientific disciplines tend progressively to a higher degree of specialization\, it is becoming more and more complex to set up an effective and interdisciplinary dialogue among scholars from different fields in the Humanities and the Social Sciences. This Symposium\, organized by the Galician Studies Research Group at UW-Milwaukee\, would like to offer a meeting point to facilitate the exchange of critical ideas and (inter)disciplinary proposals on the present and future of Galician Studies in North American academia. We therefore propose a space to discuss\, through a reflective look at the field itself\, topics such as: \n\nThe development\, presence\, and recent achievements of Galician Studies in North America\, including Language & Literature and the Humanities\, as well as the Social Sciences. An effort will be made to critically evaluate a broad range of proposals\, in order to clarify goals and processes\, discuss (post)national approaches\, and/or establish bridges with similar debates\, contemporary or not\, in parallel settings such as Catalonia\, Quebec\, or Ireland.\nThe intellectual and strategic paths to be designed and explored to promote more efficiently Galician Studies in North America through concrete tasks and goals.\nThe historiography and discourses on this field within North American academia\, addressing\, from a positive perspective\, the potential contribution that the Galician national debate could make to current cultural and sociopolitical issues.\n\nKeynote Speakers\n\nThomas Harrington\, Associate Professor\, Trinity College\nSharon Roseman\, Professor\, Anthropology\, Memorial University of Newfoundland\, Canada\n\nOrganizing Committee\n\nBenita Sampedro (Hofstra)\nGabriel Rei-Doval (Chair)\nJosé A.
