XIII NOLAN Conference 2026
Encounters in Transition: Latin American Struggles, Horizons, and Global Connections - Stockholm University, Sweden, from 10–12 June
About NOLAN
The Nordic Latin American Research Network (NOLAN) started in 2002 with a conference organized by the former Institute of Latin American Studies at Stockholm University (NILAS since 2019). Since then, conferences have been held biannually and rotating between the Nordic countries. In 2026, it is the Nordic Institute of Latin American Studies’ turn to host the XIII Conference, from 10-12 June.
By Registration Only - The conference is closed to participants, and attendance is limited to individuals who completed prior registration.
Conference Theme
NOLAN 2026 invites participants to reflect on the role of encounters—across borders, disciplines, communities, states, markets, and histories. These encounters emerge amid a global context marked by turbulence, uncertainty, socioeconomic disparities, transitions, and possibilities. We encourage proposals that explore how encounters—both conflictual and collaborative—have informed the lived experiences, intellectual traditions, and institutional frameworks of Latin America and the Caribbean.
Program Format
In keeping with the theme Encounters in Transition, the conference program is intentionally designed to foster diverse forms of intellectual and collective engagement. Rather than traditional keynote addresses, the program will be structured around panel sessions, roundtables and collaborative meetings.
