The 2009 Romance Studies Colloquium will take place from 1-3 October 2009 in Jersey City, NJ, across the Hudson River from New York City.  The colloquium will address issues related to storytelling across the Romance languages and may include ethical, sociological, anthropological, linguistic, political, literary, or theoretical aspects.  Comparative and interdisciplinary approaches (painting, architecture, film, performance, photography, theory, cultural studies, and media) are actively encouraged. Papers may focus on any time and place in Romance studies.
