Islands-in-Between Conference
24 - 26 October, 2024

The Islands In Between Conference is an annual collaboration between the University of the Virgin Islands, the University of the West Indies-Cave Hill, and the University of Puerto Rico. The primary goal of the Conference is to extend a tertiary academic presence to islands that are devoid of university-tier institutions. This conference serves as a platform for local students, scholars, and the broader community to explore the literature, languages, and cultures of the Eastern Caribbean. The Conference aims to foster connections and encourage collaborative discussions and research in vital subjects.

The conference is being held this year at the H. Lavity Stoutt Community College in the British Virgin Islands from 24th - 26th October, 2024.

Venue

The conference will be held in the Learning Resource Centre (LRC) and the Eileene L. Parsons Auditorium.
