This panel discusses the cumulative effects of socialist reforms in Cuba over recent years. It features an invited Cuban expert from the University of Havana along with three other sociologists whose work involves Cuba. The focus is on the progress and challenges arising from the substantial reforms in the revolutionary process that have been enacted during the Raul Castro administration. Reflections of the new political context in the post-Obama era will be exchanged. The panel will also feature an update on the upcoming Association for Humanist Sociology (AHS) conference in Havana (November, 2017), the first major US sociological association conference to take place in Cuba since 1959.
