On February 7-8, the Department of Modern and Classical Literatures and Culture at Rice University organized a two-day international Symposium on “Haiti and the World.” I was invited to present a paper on my academic interests, and the two keynote speakers were Haitianist historian Laurent Dubois (Friday) and  the well-known Haitian novelist Myriam J.A. Chancy (Saturday). The conference organizers were Jacqueline Couti and Linsey Saint-Claire.

I took some random photos of the events, which I am pleased to share with you below:
