1. Who defines the Caribbean and who interprets the various definitions?


2. What are the changing interests of scholars and practitioners who work in the field of Caribbean studies and who formulates “Caribbean” policies and programmes?


3. Who are the beneficiaries from the knowledge that are produced in the name of Caribbean studies?


4. Has the Caribbean’s unique history and geography produced ideas that serve a present global discourse on cultural exchange, ethnic dis/harmony, race, gender and class relations, economic development, political sovereignty and scientific research?


5. The question that this Conference asks the Association in its 34th year of existence is: how may we continue as a Caribbean Studies Association with a greater self consciousness of the umbrella term that unites our scholarship and practice?
