City College Downtown: Eight International Conference on the Historical Links between Spain and the Americas: Climate Change and Trans-Atlantic Transformations

The  8th International Conference on the Historical Links between Spain and the Americas will grapple with the causes, dynamics, and consequences, including for trans-Atlantic relations, of what has now become widely known as an emergency. From colonialism and imperialism to neoliberalism and globalization, asymmetrical relationships and unsustainable consumption patterns are foundational to understanding one of the twenty-first century’s most pressing collective action dilemmas. The conference calls for critical consideration of the disproportionate impacts of environmental degradation on vulnerable populations—owing to race, gender, class, or other oppressive social hierarchies.  

The City College of New York – Division of Interdisciplinary Studies, the Instituto Cervantes of New York, and the Instituto Franklin of the Universidad de Alcalá join for the eighth year in organizing this conference.
