The Centre for Caribbean Thought (CCT) UWI, Mona, in association with Africana Studies at Brown University and the Institute of Caribbean Studies, University of Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras will host the Seventh Caribbean Reasonings Conference. The Conference is entitled Freedom and Power in the Caribbean: the Work of Gordon K. Lewis. It is scheduled to take place on June 3-5, 2010 at the University of the West Indies, Mona.

This conference aims to reopen inter-territorial networks to enable studies across language barriers, a goal the Centre for Caribbean Thought has articulated and continues to realize since 2001 through several conferences and the “Caribbean Reasonings” book series with Ian Randle Publishers. It will also seek to introduce the seminal work of Gordon K. Lewis to a new generation of young scholars, interested in moving beyond constricting national barriers, in order to study the region in its entirety.

Abstracts are invited for submission for this Conference and should be sent as a Word attachment to Beverley Sutherland Lewis at: cct@uwimona.edu.jm. The deadline for submission is Sunday, January 10, 2010. For more information on the Conference and Call for Papers interested persons may visit the Centre’s website at http://myspot.mona.uwi.edu/cct/
