Its first issue brings together the papers that were presented at the symposium “Rethinking the Americas: Crossing Borders and Disciplines” in the Spring of 2002 on the Vanderbilt campus. This symposium grew out of a faculty seminar that was co-directed by Professor Earl Fitz, William Luis, and Cathy L. Jrade and that was sponsored by the RobertPennWarrenCenter for the Humanities. The three co-directors and the other participants of the year-long seminar, Marshall Eakin, Ted Fischer, Jane Landers, Anne Demo, and Deborah Cohn, were joined by such distinguished scholars as Gordan Brotherston, Barbara Gordon, Philip Howard, and Michael Dash. The papers reflect an attempt to address key issues in the field of Inter-American Studies.

The Vanderbilt e-Journal of Luso-Hispanic Studies is a new online interdisciplinary academic publication edited by the Department of Spanish and Portuguese. Created as an open forum and a platform for an interdisciplinary dialogue on specific debates of Luso-Hispanic Studies, this publication welcomes proposals of monographic volumes crossing over disciplinary boundaries and addressing the theoretical, political, and cultural connections among diverse studies in and on Latin America as well as on Inter-American and transatlantic topics. It will be published annually.
