The XV Conference on Cuban and Cuban American Studies, organized by FIU’s Institute for Cuban Studies, brings together the largest international gathering of scholars specializing in Cuba and its diaspora since 1997 to examine the theme “Cuba: The Day After Tomorrow.” Convened at a moment of profound political, economic, and social crisis for the Cuban regime—widely regarded as the most severe since 1959—the conference offers a timely forum to reflect on the island’s future beyond the current system and to consider the possibilities of national refoundation following a potential transition.
