The first biennial Graduate Student Conference (Oct 5-6, 2007) followed two primary thematic avenues: Narratives and the (Im)possibility of the Nation-State and Shifting Identities/Subjectivities in Latin America and the Caribbean. The conference opened up interdisciplinary doors with a film projection of a documentary on Colombian news representations, Los noticieros de la televisión: imagen y memoria de un país, created and produced by HL&L graduate student Fabio López de la Roche, and, to continue in the Colombian vein, the projection and discussion of the acclaimed 2003 film La combra del caminante.
