Exploring the Portuguese Diaspora in InterDISCIPLINARY and Comparative Perspectives: An International Conference This Conference proposes to create a forum that will permit scholars to engage in a cross-national and cross-disciplinary dialogue on the Portuguese diaspora. All comparative and interdisciplinary forms of the Portuguese-speaking diaspora (Americas, Africa, Asia, Europe) will be considered: sociological, economic, political, literary, linguistic, historical, cultural, and others.
