Indigenous and Imperial Histories: A Roundtable

Thursday, February 19, 2026 - 5:30pm

College Hall 209

This panel brings together scholars of the Iberian world to explore the intersections of Indigenous and imperial histories across the early modern period. Through comparative and connected approaches, the discussion highlights Indigenous political orders, African sovereign polities, and the diverse modes of negotiation, entanglement, and resistance that shaped Iberian imperial rule across the Atlantic.

The panelists include Pedro Cardim (Universidade Nova de Lisboa), Tatiana Seijas (Rutgers University), and Rafael Chamboleyron (Universidade Federal do Pará).  

Organized by History Professors Roquinaldo Ferreira, Marcy Norton, and Antonio Feros.
