RUTA Annual Conference 2026 concluded its final day
July 15, 2026
Over the past three days, participants at RUTA Annual Conference 2026 have been brought together in person and online across dozens of panels, roundtables, art workshops, performances, film screenings, and exhibits.
Powerful and thought-provoking conversations have been developing around the meaning and importance of rooted knowledges and non-extractive methodologies, around questions of inter- and intra-regional systems of oppression, and around the possibilities offered by situating our regions in global solidarities, among many other topics.
