Español en Estados Unidos & El español en contacto con otras lenguas
Spanish in the US & Spanish in contact with other languages

Founded in 1980, the Spanish in the US Conference brings together researchers from various disciplines – such as linguistics, sociology, anthropology, education, and legal studies – investigating a wide range of topics related to Spanish and Spanish-speaking communities in the United States. Since 1991, the Spanish in the US Conference has been held in conjunction with the Spanish in Contact with Other Languages Conference, allowing productive connections between researchers focusing on the US context and researchers investigating the entire Spanish-speaking world.  In recent years, interest and participation have increased dramatically, thanks to both the growing public and scholarly recognition of Spanish-speaking communities in the United States. The conference is now held every two years, in odd years.

We are pleased to announce that the 2025 conference will be co-organized by the University of Texas at San Antonio and Texas A&M University. It will be held between April 10 and 12, 2025 on the Downtown Campus of UTSA, in beautiful San Antonio, Texas. We can't wait to see you there! In the meantime, you can follow us on Facebook here.
