ASPHS 2021 Annual Conference
A reduced version of the 2021 conference will be held online in several sessions from April 17-May 1, with two homenaje sessions, a keynote speaker, and six independently organized sessions.
See below for the full program. We request that you be a current member to access these sessions – click on “Member Login” in the upper right-hand corner to log in and view or update your membership status.
There will be no registration fee for the Conference, but we do encourage voluntary donations of any size. (See the blue Donate button at the bottom right corner of the page!) Now that the ASPHS is an official charitable organization, we encourage donations as well as membership renewal to keep the business of the Association going, including the Bulletin and the prizes. Donations will also support the growth of a graduate student fund to be used for travel to future Conferences. Many thanks for your support!
The 2022 conference will be held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, hosted by Eugenia Afinoguenova of Marquette University.

Roundtable: Radical Pedagogies of the Hispanic World
This roundtable poses education as a cultural transmitter that has shaped historical change across the Hispanic and Hispanophone world. It moves beyond the aula (Dussel and Caruso 1999) and the textbook to consider non-traditional sites of education: monuments, memorials and museums; theatres and galleries; and music, literature, film and other media. We seek to interrogate how such spaces serve both to enforce and challenge dominant discourses of power and authority across national and even linguistic boundaries, particularly in moments of transition, consolidation or protest. With contributions drawing from theatre, children’s literature, art education, the popular press and other vehicles, this roundtable takes a critical approach across time and space to illuminate the ways in which cultures of education impact the political and social public sphere and contribute to the formation of citizens and others.
Conveners: Anna Kathryn Kendrick and Parker Lawson
Participants: Nathaniel Andrews (Leeds), Cecilia Enjuto Rangel (Oregon), Anna Kathryn Kendrick (NYU Shanghai), Parker Lawson (Cambridge), Till Kössler (Halle)
