Basques in the Contemporary World:
Migration, Identity, and
Globalization
A conference on “Basques in the Contemporary
World: Migration, Identity, and Globalization,”
organized and sponsored by the Basque Studies Program and
University Studies Abroad Consortium of the University of
Nevada, Reno, will take place July 6-9, 1998 at the
Riverboat Hotel & Casino in Reno. We have received
generous support for the conference from the
Secretaría de Acción Exterior and the
Consejería de Cultura of Eusko Jaurlaritza (the
Basque Government).
This conference was conceived out of an awareness of
the massive transformations affecting our very notions of
identity, culture, politics, and theory. Its broad aims are
to take stock of the intellectual crossroads in the various
scholarly fields and to identify areas in which Basque
Studies could benefit by the application of new
approaches.
Below is a preliminary schedule. The format includes
half-hour presentations in plenary session each morning,
with afternoons devoted to two or more concurrent sessions
of twenty-minute papers.
