<p style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black">We are pleased to announce the Charles F. Fraker Graduate Conference, organized by graduate students in the Department of Romance Languages and Literatures at the University
of Michigan. The conference will take place October 17–18, 2025, in a hybrid format, with most programming taking place in person in Ann Arbor.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black">In recognition of ongoing financial constraints and institutional disparities in travel funding, we are offering a limited number of virtual presentation slots. We encourage
applicants who are able to travel to join us in person, as virtual participation will be more competitive due to space and technical limitations.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p style="margin-bottom:12.0pt"><span style="font-family:"Georgia",serif;color:black">This year’s theme is <i>Capitalism & Desire</i>. We invite proposals from graduate students engaging with a wide range of questions, methodologies, and theoretical frameworks.
The conference is committed to fostering interdisciplinary dialogue and collaborative scholarship, and we encourage submissions that push the boundaries of traditional disciplinary divisions.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
