Cafecito con… CENTRO Summer Fellows

Join CENTRO Summer researchers Conor Reed, Alexandria Ramos, and Estelle Maisonett for a conversation on their research this summer. The research theme, Archives: Memory & the Present Past of Puerto Rico, invites researchers to engage with the word “archives” as concept, practice, and theory by bringing together some of the most important framings of historically inflected research. The theme contends with the material and theoretical importance of the archive in contemporary scholarship and research practices while opening a space to engage with contestation, archival reckoning, archival architecture, facilities, and accessibility, and quotidian interventions and forms of archival refusal.
