What is the state of Caribbean Studies in Canada today?
In the spring of 2023, Chevy Eugene—Caribbeanist scholar and activist and doctoral candidate in Social and Political Thought at York University—lamented The Crisis of Caribbean Studies in Canada. That conversation brought together emerging and established scholars and activists of the Caribbean in Canada to consider the contemporary question of Caribbean Studies. It served as an anchor for a series of conversations I had with scholars in the Canadian academy in the summer of 2023 on the state and future of Caribbean Studies.
