The Lusophone Studies Association (LSA) is pleased to announce that our 2026 conference Voices and Visions: Lusophone Communities in the Global Landscape
will be held at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan, Canada, 14-16 May 2025 (in-person and Zoom hybrid event).

We welcome you to our International LSA Conference 2026: Voices and Visions: Lusophone Communities in the Global Landscape that will be taking place from 14 to 16 May 14 2026 at the University of British Columbia, Okanagan Campus. This conference examines the voices and visions of the Portuguese Diaspora, considering contemporary and historical perspectives that encompass the Lusophone world. We will be exploring themes such as pain and power through the emergence of the Luso-Iberian empires, colonialism, gender, racialization, slavery, and the Lusophone media in all its aspects. This conference considers a wide range of topics that include the Portuguese community along the Pacific Ocean coasts and more specifically in the Okanagan valley of British Columbia, Canada. Overall,the inclusive conference considers the Lusophone world from varying standpoints and through the framework of lived experiences, across centuries and into the present.
